A global leader in data center infrastructure needed a precise and reliable way to monitor and manage electrical power across its facilities. In mission-critical environments—supporting cloud platforms, financial systems, and enterprise computing, uninterrupted power and efficiency are non-negotiable.
Current transformers (CTs) became the foundation for accurate power measurement and monitoring, ensuring safe, stable, and efficient operation across high-density data center equipment. By enabling real-time monitoring, energy optimization, and fault detection, CTs play a vital role in maintaining uninterrupted service across the client’s facilities.
Key Capabilities of CTs:
Real-time monitoring of power usage and load distribution
Improved energy efficiency through precise optimization
Fault detection for reliable protection systems
Seamless integration with global power standards and monitoring systems
The client faced a range of technical challenges tied to the complexity of modern data centers. Input currents from servers, UPS systems, and cooling equipment demanded precise monitoring, while compact switchgear and busbar layouts required smaller CT designs. Continuous duty operation also called for thermal and electrical stability over long service lives.
Equally important were global deployment and regulatory concerns. The CTs had to be compatible across a variety of voltages and frequencies worldwide while meeting strict IEC, UL, and IEEE standards. Additionally, integration with advanced monitoring platforms such as BMS, EMS, SCADA, and intelligent PDUs was essential to ensure seamless operations and unified visibility across facilities.
To meet these requirements, our CTs were engineered with precision and efficiency in mind. A custom core and winding design provided linearity across wide current ranges, while compact window sizes (6.50” and 7.50”) allowed easy installation in high-density environments. Low-burden designs minimized energy losses and heat generation, and thermal management features ensured long-term stability under continuous duty conditions. Most importantly, compatibility with varied voltages and frequencies made these CTs globally deployable, simplifying adoption across the client’s worldwide operations.
Unlike conventional solutions, our CTs are designed specifically for mission-critical data centers. They combine superior accuracy, compact design, and robust reliability to support both current and future infrastructure demands. Noise resistance ensures signal integrity in high-EMI environments, and compliance with UL, IEC 61869, and IEEE C57.13 provides confidence in global acceptance.
Unique Advantages:
Higher efficiency with accurate PUE tracking
Faster fault detection and response
Maintenance-free longevity, reducing downtime risk
Compact form factor optimized for modern switchgear
The implementation of our CTs delivered measurable improvements for the client. Energy monitoring became more accurate, leading to optimized PUE and greater operational efficiency. Continuous duty reliability reduced downtime risk, while the compliance-ready design enabled seamless deployment across multiple regions. Ultimately, these CTs became a cornerstone of the client’s power management strategy. By addressing challenges in accuracy, thermal stability, and regulatory compliance, they ensured uninterrupted service for customers worldwide strengthening the client’s reputation as a leader in reliable data center infrastructure.
Outcome: Our CTs now serve as a critical enabler of uninterrupted, efficient, and compliant power management, helping the client deliver consistent, reliable service at global scale.
