    A low-voltage network or secondary network is a part of electric power distribution which carries electric energy from distribution transformers to electricity meters of end customers.


  • How to measure the voltage in the power distribution box of the computer room

    How to measure the voltage in the power distribution box of the computer room

    The multimeter is used to check voltages of power supply. This is optional if your power supply has power adapter then you can directly check the voltage with power cord or power supply. If you've never tested voltage with a multimeter before, you might be staring at all of the different numbers, symbols, and buttons on the device and wondering what exactly you're supposed to be doing with them. Don't worry! We talked to electrician Ricardo Mitchell and master electrician Jesse. If you have a digital multimeter on hand, it's pretty straightforward to test your PSU and rule out power gremlins as the source of your computer problems. I check if the power supply is AC or DC, then set the multimeter to the right mode.


  • Operating temperature of relay protection room equipment

    Operating temperature of relay protection room equipment

    Most relay manufacturers recommend stable temperatures between 20–25°C with controlled humidity to prevent electronic drift. How large should a relay room be? Size depends on panel count, but designers must allow working clearances, maintenance access, and future expansion. Abstract: Service conditions, electrical ratings, thermal ratings, and testing requirements are defined for relays and relay systems used to protect and control power apparatus. Keywords: ac. This handbook covers the code of practice in protection circuitry including standard lead and device numbers, mode of connections at terminal strips, colour codes in multicore cables, dos and donts in execution. Understanding the effects of temperature on a reed relay can ensure maintaining the. Most relay parameters are specified as maximum values over the rated temperature range of the specific relay. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system continue to run under normal conditions.

  • Bitmain AI Computing Server

    Bitmain AI Computing Server

    The Sophon BM1680 is the heart of a card and specialized server that Bitmain will begin selling on 8 November. Today (Nov 12th), Ubitus, the largest cloud gaming platform in East Asia, announced that it will adopt Sophon AI chips and related hardware products developed by BITMAIN, a world-leading IC design company, which are expected to be built at Ubitus's IDC in Japan and Taiwan. With Sophon's. Google's Tensor Processing Unit uses 8-bit math for inferencing. It can perform 2 teraflops (2 trillion floating point operations per second) and typically consumes 25 Watts but can ramp up to 41 W when running flat out. Earlier this year Finance Magnates exclusively reported that Bitmain decided to enter the AI market after we visited. BITMAIN SM5 (SOPHON SM5) is an AI computing module with super computing power. It is positioning the edge computing scenes with high performance requirements and has AI analysis capatibilities of over 16 channels FHD video.

  • How to make cable management in the computer room faster

    How to make cable management in the computer room faster

    This blog shares 15 simple yet effective cable management hacks designed to help you create a cleaner, more organized desk setup. From quick fixes to smart tools, these ideas are easy to try. Organized cables inside a PC case create clear airflow pathways, essential for optimal cooling, enhanced performance, and preventing overheating in any build. Managing the cables under your desk not only provides you with an aesthetically pleasing workspace but also helps prevent tripping and falling over cables. Furthermore, troubleshooting hardware becomes much easier in a clutter-free environment.


  • Fiber optic panels in each room

    Fiber optic panels in each room

    Instead of terminating fiber at the household gateway, FTTR extends dedicated optical fiber connections into every room within a home or apartment. What Is FTTR? FTTR stands for Fiber to the Room, a technology that takes the principles of FTTH (Fiber to the Home) one. In modern data centers, where high-speed and high-density connectivity is critical, organizing fiber optic patch panels effectively is essential for performance, scalability, and maintenance. With smart fiber installation techniques, fiber optic networks can also be built at a significantly lower cost than the corresponding copper-based LAN networks. It acts as a hub for organizing splices and patch cords, streamlining fiber management and preserving signal integrity.


  • Traditional server rack cold aisle

    Traditional server rack cold aisle

    This arrangement places server racks in alternating rows where equipment fronts face each other to form cold aisles, while the backs create hot aisles. Cold air flows into the front of servers, and hot exhaust air exits through the rear. When implemented correctly, they improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, extend equipment life, and enhance overall reliability. In this guide, we'll break down how hot aisle and cold aisle configurations. Separating hot and cold air is the key to cooling efficiency. This setup achieves optimal airflow, which prevents hot and. CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioning) with aisle containment remains the most widely deployed cooling architecture in traditional data centers, supporting rack densities up to 10–12 kW through proven thermal management principles. While newer technologies address higher density requirements, CRAC.
