Critical power & data center
Critical power is the busway, UPS, PDUs, transfer switches, MCC lineups and cable tray that distribute power inside data centers and industrial plants, and it reaches the market from canceled or over-ordered mission-critical jobs and decommissioned rooms. Most of it is quote-only, so availability is the reason to ask.
Target prices are 20% below typical market. We source each order, then confirm price and quantity in a written quote. Typical lots start at $5,000.
Critical power & data center: sizes, grades and specifications
Busway covers plug-in, feeder and track types rated 225A to 5000A in copper or aluminum, with fittings and plug-in tap boxes. UPS systems run 20 kVA to 1 MVA three-phase with VRLA or lithium-ion battery cabinets, and floor-mount PDUs and remote power panels run 50 to 300 kVA. Transfer switches are 100A to 3000A ATS at 480V or 208V in three or four pole, plus 400A static transfer switches. MCC lineups are 480V on 600 to 2000A bus, sold as sections, lineups or buckets. Cable tray is aluminum, steel or stainless ladder, solid-bottom and wire basket in 10, 12 and 20 ft lengths. Racks are new only.
What to include when you ask for critical power & data center
Name the rating, voltage and manufacturer family, because busway, PDUs and MCC buckets have to match what is already installed. For busway, give the total run length plus the fittings and plug-in units you need. Typical lots are a full busway run with fittings, one UPS, PDU or transfer switch, 500 lf of cable tray, or five cabinets. Add your needed-by date and whether a compatible substitute works.
