High-Density Power Challenges
Modern AI workloads demand unprecedented power density and reliability
Extreme Power Density
Per rack for 8x H200 configurations. Traditional 8-12kW racks cannot support GPU infrastructure.
- 8x B200 SXM6: 9.5kW compute per server
- Cooling overhead: +40%
- Total: ~113kW per rack
Power Quality
Total Harmonic Distortion requirements. Poor power quality causes GPU throttling and training instability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What power capacity is needed for high-density GPU racks?
Modern AI racks with 8x NVIDIA H200 GPUs require 100-120kW per rack, including cooling overhead. Traditional 8-12kW rack infrastructure cannot support GPU workloads without complete electrical redesign.
What is Tier III vs Tier IV power reliability?
Tier III provides N+1 redundancy with 99.982% uptime (1.6 hours downtime/year). Tier IV provides 2N redundancy with 99.995% uptime (26 minutes downtime/year). AI training workloads typically require Tier III minimum.
Should I choose lithium-ion or lead-acid UPS batteries?
Lithium-ion offers 10-year lifespan vs 3-5 years for VRLA, 50% smaller footprint, 98% efficiency, and lower TCO despite higher upfront cost. Recommended for new deployments and space-constrained facilities.
What PDU features are important for GPU servers?
Essential features include per-outlet power metering (1% accuracy), remote outlet switching for stuck server reboot, high-amperage circuits (60A+ per PDU), temperature/humidity sensors, and SNMP v3 integration.
How long should generator runtime be for AI workloads?
AI training jobs can run for weeks. Generator systems should support 48-72 hours at full load minimum, with automatic fuel replenishment contracts. N+1 redundancy with load bank testing is standard for Tier III.
