Os especialistas em média tensão
A distribuição de energia de média tensão pode parecer uma pequena parte de seu grande data center, mas ela pode afetar severamente sua confiabilidade e lucratividade. Você precisa de um especialista com experiência inigualável em data centers e concessionárias de energia. Você precisa da S&C.
Pense em média tensão. Pense na S&C.
Achieve Better Uptime With a Utility-Style Electrical Distribution System
Driven by AI, cloud computing, and electrification, data centers are growing in size and power demand. Conventional centralized electrical distribution systems are challenged to meet their reliability requirements.
With its single point of failure, a conventional centralized system puts data centers at risk of widespread outages that cost time, money, and customer trust.
Utility-style distributed systems, on the other hand, feature multi-switchgear lineups that limit the impact of faults and reduce the risk that a single equipment issue disrupts service across the system. As data centers continue to scale, those same design principles become increasingly important.
No more single points of failure. No more unnecessary downtime.
Enable Continuous Operations With Purpose-Built Medium-Voltage Switchgear
Vista® Underground Distribution Switchgear, S&C Electric Company’s hermetically sealed, eco-friendly medium-voltage switchgear solution, enables a distributed electrical system design that:
- Isolates faults to the affected area to reduce fault impact
- Reroutes power from an alternate source to energize unaffected sections and maintain power supply
S&C’s Custom Metal-Enclosed Switchgear (MES) is a medium-voltage switching and protection solution that is custom-designed and custom-built for your data center’s unique needs.
Like Vista switchgear, Custom MES increases your resilience and uptime by isolating faults and rerouting power to maintain electricity supply.
Because this solution is custom-built, S&C can work with your data center to:
- Design a solution using the configuration of switches, fuses, and breakers that best meets your system’s requirements
- Create a switchgear shape, appearance, and footprint that fits your campus and square-footage needs

Ready for Data Center Expansion: Scale Up Simply With S&C Switchgear
Ever-increasing demand has data centers looking for simple expansion opportunities without sacrificing reliability—or profit.
Data centers that rely on centralized, breaker-based electrical distribution systems face difficult choices when expanding: Either add more load to the existing system at the risk of overtaxing it or invest in an additional onsite centralized system to support the added load.
As campuses grow, the risks of centralized architecture increase with them. Distributed electrical systems are designed to scale while maintaining operational continuity.
Using a distributed system with S&C switchgear, data centers can expand existing electrical systems into newly built structures by simply adding more switchgear units.
As visualized here, each switchgear unit distributes power to a set number of server racks. When the data center expands its physical footprint and adds more racks, the distributed electrical system expands as needed, adding switchgear units to accommodate the extra racks and higher loads.
Since distributed systems are capable of fault isolation and power rerouting no matter the size, the data center’s expanded system maintains its reliability, empowering the data center to scale up without sacrificing uptime.
How S&C Switchgear Has Helped Data Centers
Data centers rely on S&C to design and deploy distributed electrical systems that improve resilience, limit fault impact, and support long-term growth.
Reducing System Costs
A Texas data center reduces system cost by 35-45% while improving protection, relay coordination, and continuity after a fault.
