Envision deploys first commercial 800V DC power system at large AI data center in China
Envision announced on 2 November the commercial deployment of what it calls the world's first integrated 800V DC power system based on solid-state transformers (SSTs) at a large AI data center. The system promises higher conversion efficiency and a smaller footprint, using less copper.
Who is affected and how
- engineer
- The 800V DC architecture is pushing manufacturers and designers to rethink switchgear, converters and cabling.
- supplier
- DC distribution opens new product categories, so development timelines for converters and protection devices should be aligned with it.
