Schneider Electric Powers the Future with 800 VDC Innovation for NVIDIA Data Centers
Driving the Next Wave of Data Center Power
Schneider Electric strengthens its commitment to 800 VDC power systems for next-generation AI data centers.
The company focuses on efficiency, safety, and scalability for emerging high-density rack architectures.
It aims to support NVIDIA’s advanced GPUs with new 800 VDC infrastructure built for megawatt-scale racks.
Innovating for High-Density AI Racks
The rise of AI demands higher rack power and tighter energy control.
Traditional 54 V systems cannot meet the power needs of modern AI factories.
Schneider Electric introduces a new 800 VDC sidecar designed to deliver up to 1.2 MW per rack.
This innovation converts AC to 800 VDC efficiently, cutting material use and infrastructure costs.
Inside the 800 VDC Sidecar
The sidecar delivers high efficiency with modular conversion shelves.
It includes short-term energy storage for load balancing and backup.
Technicians can perform maintenance safely with Live Swap capabilities.
This modular approach supports scalability as power demand grows.
A Full-System Approach to Power Innovation
Schneider Electric designs entire systems, not isolated components.
It integrates conversion, metering, and protection to ensure predictable, reliable performance.
Customers benefit from simpler maintenance, consistent scalability, and higher operational efficiency.
This holistic approach meets the needs of AI-driven, power-dense data centers.
Decades of Expertise in Safety and Reliability
Schneider Electric applies decades of safety and reliability experience.
Its teams use simulation, modeling, and lab testing to validate each design.
Engineers analyze fault current and arc flash risks in real-world scenarios.
Live Swap power capabilities allow continuous operation during service.
Collaboration with NVIDIA for Scalable AI Infrastructure
Schneider Electric and NVIDIA continue to expand their collaboration on AI-ready power systems.
Together, they design scalable 800 VDC architectures for future GPU generations.
“Scalable power is the foundation of next-gen AI infrastructure,” said Dion Harris of NVIDIA.
This partnership enables efficient, resilient power delivery for the AI industrial revolution.
