By applying the principles outlined in this white paper , you will be able to select a top-quality busway solution that will serve the ongoing power needs of your facility over the long run .
Introduction
For data center owners and Consulting and Specification Engineers ( CSEs ), busway systems are rapidly becoming the solution of choice for effective power distribution . Busways can be suspended from the ceiling , placed on vertical supports , or even mounted on the server cabinets themselves to provide a direct power source to servers and racks .
Busway systems offer numerous advantages over traditional Remote Power Panels ( RPPs ). Suspended or mounted track busways eliminate the need for an RPP , allowing you to make better use of data center space . ◊ www . intelligentdatacentres . com
