Data centers are the backbone of an increasingly digital world and place particularly high demands on availability, reliability and operational safety. Even short interruptions in the power supply can affect critical processes, which makes a stable and well-coordinated energy infrastructure essential. From cooling and ventilation systems to building automation, monitoring, control systems and auxiliary power distribution, numerous applications within a data center require a continuous and dependable power supply.
BLOCK offers a broad portfolio of products designed to support this critical infrastructure. Power supplies, UPS systems, electronic circuit breakers, power quality components and control transformers work together to ensure reliable operation, protect sensitive equipment and maintain system availability. Whether the focus is on bridging voltage dips, selectively protecting individual circuits, reducing electromagnetic interference or supplying automation and monitoring components, BLOCK products can be integrated into a wide range of data center applications.
Our products are used throughout key areas of data center infrastructure. From power distribution and UPS systems to cooling, monitoring and control technology, the illustration shows where our products help ensure a reliable and stable power supply.
COOLING & VENTILATION
A reliable power supply is essential for the stable and efficient operation of cooling and ventilation systems in data centers. BLOCK power supply solutions provide a stable DC voltage for fans and other critical components. In addition, power quality components help to reduce electromagnetic interference, motor stress and unwanted effects on the power grid. Selective circuit protection further increases system availability by ensuring that faults in individual ventilation branches do not affect the entire cooling system.
UPS SYSTEMS
UPS systems help to maintain critical functions during voltage dips or interruptions. Capacitive POWER COMPACT UPS solutions are suitable for maintenance-free applications, while POWER ADVANCED battery UPS systems can be combined with POWER STORAGE or POWER VISION battery modules when longer buffer times are required. This allows the backup concept to be adapted to the specific requirements of the application.
POWER QUALITY COMPONENTS
Power quality components help to reduce electromagnetic interference and disturbances within the power grid. BLOCK line reactors, harmonic filters and EMI filters can be used to reduce unwanted electrical effects, protect connected equipment and improve the overall quality of the power supply. This is particularly important in data centers, where sensitive electronics and reliable operation are essential.
CONTROL SYSTEMS & MONITORING
Controllers, HMIs and automation components require a stable and efficient power supply to ensure reliable operation. BLOCK power supplies provide the necessary DC voltage for these systems, while DC UPS components can bridge voltage dips and short interruptions. This helps to prevent uncontrolled system states and maintain communication and control functions. Continuous monitoring plays an important role in ensuring high availability and detecting faults at an early stage. BLOCK provides reliable DC power for critical sensors and communication modules. Diagnostic information can support predictive maintenance, while selective circuit protection allows faulty sensors or communication modules to be disconnected without affecting other parts of the system.
AUXILIARY POWER DISTRIBUTION
Reliable auxiliary power distribution is a key requirement for the continuous operation of data centers. BLOCK solutions enable central DC distribution within the control cabinet and provide selective protection for individual circuits. Redundant power supplies can be decoupled to increase operational reliability, helping to maintain the power supply even if one component fails.
BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Building automation, access control and safety functions depend on a stable and reliable power supply. BLOCK solutions provide the required energy for building management systems and support the secure operation of critical infrastructure. In combination with suitable UPS solutions, communication and monitoring systems can continue to operate during voltage dips or power outages.
POWER SUPPLIES
BLOCK offers a broad range of power supplies for different requirements within data center infrastructure. The POWER ADVANCED series provides a reliable power supply for demanding applications, while POWER COMPACT offers additional flexibility through its wide input voltage range. POWER ULTIMATE increases operational reliability through its decoupled output, and the compact POWER ECO LINE is particularly suitable for applications such as building automation.
ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Electronic circuit breakers provide selective protection for individual loads and contribute to higher system availability. The modular EasyB system offers a high degree of flexibility and is designed to handle high inrush currents. Economy Smart multi-channel circuit breakers provide a space-saving solution for applications with limited installation space, while communicative circuit breakers enable selective shutdown and provide additional diagnostic options.
