Power

The building contains it’s own Baltimore Gas & Electric power substation connected to two separate Baltimore City 13,200v power grids each fed by its own set of two additional substations. Our facility is fed directly by grid power at 13.2kv and transformed to 480v within our facility which is then filtered by a high capacity Transient Voltage Surge Suppression System (TVSS) filtering all grid power disturbances up to 1,000,000 Amps.

To ensure no downtime in the case of a power grid or transformer disruption, power is then distributed to two completely separate, purposefully non-paralleled, but Phase Synchronized, 300kW PowerWare UPS systems. Each is capable of maintaining 100% of our power load allowing for fully maintenance concurrency of all electrical gear with no down time. A separate Maintenance Bypass has been installed on each UPS allowing complete bypass of either UPS system incase of system malfunction.

Power is then transformed to usable 208/120 power, run through another TVSS and individually delivered from each UPS to each rack to a rack mounted fast switch which selects the best power source from each UPS and also allows for user control of each outlet within a rack via a web interface.

In the event of a longer power grid disruption, a 750 kW generator with a 2300 Gallon (48 hour) fuel supply is in place to backup utility grid power incase of failure. Diesel is delivered to the generator via a Dual Diesel pump package is installed for fuel system redundancy.
