A/B Power : Two completely independent power feeds providing redundancy so a server stays online if one path fails.
3‑Phase Power: A high‑capacity electrical system using three 120°‑offset phases to deliver stable, efficient power.
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply): Battery‑backed system that conditions power and provides ride‑through during utility → generator transitions.
PDU (Power Distribution Unit) : Large floor‑mounted unit that steps down and distributes power from UPS to RPPs and racks.
RPP (Remote Power Panel) : Panel that distributes branch circuits from PDUs to individual racks.
Rack PDU / ePDU : Strip inside the rack that distributes power to servers; often metered or switched.
Breaker : Protective device that trips when a circuit is overloaded.
Phase Balancing: Evenly distributing load across Phase A/B/C to prevent breaker trips and overheating.
PSU (Power Supply Unit): Converts AC to DC and feeds server components; supports redundancy (1+1, N+1).
VRM (Voltage Regulation Module): Steps down DC rails to precise voltages for CPUs, GPUs, and DIMMs.
