A video of a data center power failure sent me here
-
7:03 "Sorry was that 'yes' or 'not yet'?" "Nawts... Yest" "OK just gonna do the thing"
-
I see youtube algorithm has chosen this channel
-
The sheer volume and sound is scary enough. But if you also image the amount of energy, enough to vaporize you in a bright flash, is being transferred and switched, its terrifying.
-
It is good to see that some companies do a proper full test of the whole system as i have found that some computer bosses will not allow this full changeover but only to run the generators for a short amount of time that does not do them any good without a load and does not give any indication that the whole system will work as designed when a mains power failure occurs,Foolhardy!

This is a channel I never knew I needed in my life.
-
Very good that you test the generators under full load, diesel loves to be run hard.

I am just about to get a small UPS for a FreeNAS Server - Now if feels like a joke 😂
-
3:47 Subtitles say: "James you're sleeping" "Yes" 😂
-
Hearing a Gen-Set under load ... the most "Beautiful Sound on the Planet" .. during a prolonged power outage. Cheers ........... thanks for sharing this

Not sure how your large UPS systems work in the UK but here in the USA, UPS systems of this size and class are always online. We call it double conversion where the utility (mains) AC is rectified and float charges the battery bank. The inverter is always feeding the load. As the rectifier and battery are DC, they are simply spliced together. There is no switch involved. The rectified mains DC is normally about 10 volts above the battery string voltage to keep the batteries in charge mode. Of course there is a static and maintenance bypass switch on each UPS but normally the UPS output is never interrupted during a grid failure. Also at this size, we normally run at 480 volts which is a US standard distribution voltage, that is stepped down to 120/208 volts for the loads.

Just found this channel yesterday and it has quickly become one of my favorite channels. Keep up the good work and the videos coming!
-
Nice facility - very clean.
-
My inner "What if it goes wrong? scenario" and "intermittent beeping noises" nerds are going crazy for this video
-
Please please please please make these more often :D I watched one video and I HAD to watch those others too! I absolutely LOVE these videos! Thanks for the entertaiment!
-
That's really great to get info straight from datacenter guys like you, keep up the good work !
-
Thank you very much for fantastik video👍👍👍Greate job!
-
Guy on radio: no, yes! You should agree on clearly speaking. Look to aviation or military.
-
So, can those guys say they drive a V10 at work?
-
Cool to see this being done. I work in a DC as a hall engineer. Changing Server motherboards etc. So i hear the tests happening but we never get to see whats being done.
