Data centres

Data centre electrical design and documentation

In a data centre, power must always be available. I design and document data hall electrical systems so that the structure is clear for contractors and operations alike.

Design scope

  • Power distribution and switchboard design
  • Critical power and UPS system interfaces
  • Standby generator interfaces and transfer switching
  • A/B feeds and rack power distribution
  • Selectivity and short-circuit studies
  • Extensions and modifications to existing data halls

Deliverables

  • Single-line diagrams
  • Switchboard diagrams and schedules
  • Layout drawings and cable routes
  • Descriptions and as-built drawings

Why now

Finland is an attractive data centre location thanks to its cool climate, stable grid and clean electricity. Many projects are in planning, and they often also involve solar PV or battery storage – which makes integrated electrical design all the more important.

TechDocuments

Human to human, with modern tools

You work directly with the designer. Everything is produced with current design software as digital documentation, with standards and network operator requirements in mind.

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide electrical design for data centres?

Yes. I design and document data centre and server room electrical systems: power distribution, critical power (UPS) and standby generation interfaces, A/B feeds, and switchboard and single-line diagrams. On larger projects I work as part of the design team or complement existing documentation.
