Managing and modernizing electrical power equipment is key to keeping your data centers online, but it’s also important for worker safety. Aging equipment can present serious risks to safety, reliability, and efficiency.
In the April issue of Power Systems Design, Group CBS discussed how creating an effective electrical maintenance program (EMP), complying with standards, extending the life of equipment, and protecting workers during potentially hazardous operations are all key to keeping data centers operating safely and efficiently.
Regulatory standards such as NFPA 70B and 70E require facilities to formalize their EMPs and track maintenance activities to ensure system reliability and worker safety. When the equipment that powers a data center fails, it can disrupt operation for that facility and other businesses that rely on it and create hazardous working conditions.
At CBS ArcSafe, electrical safety is our mission. Our arc flash safety solutions allow technicians to remotely operate equipment from outside the arc flash boundary, so when it’s time to perform scheduled maintenance, remote racking and remote switching solutions help protect your personnel.
