2100 watts of power

Whether you are running a personal desktop computer, or a major data center facility, electricity is one thing that all computers need to have. Even a very brief power outage will disrupt any system, and in some cases, can even damage the equipment.

This is why many critical systems have devices known as redundant power supplies built right in. Redundant power supplies are most commonly found in servers, blade chassis, large network equipment, and other essential items.

Understanding this type of power supply will help ensure your computer equipment is up and running at all times

What is a Redundant Power Supply?

A redundant power supply is using two or more power supplies in a single piece of computer equipment. Each one of the power supplies has the ability to run the device on its own. In addition, it can also run if one of them goes down.

Each of the power supplies can work independently. In addition, they can also work together. If one fails, the other will immediately take over. This way, there is no downtime at all. The second power supply is not a problem if it takes up the same amount of space as the first.

This is why they are only used for critical applications where downtime is extremely costly. By eliminating this single point of failure, the systems running on the device will be available for users a much greater percentage of the time.

Hot Swapping

In case one of the power supplies goes down, you can still continue operating. So, you have a device that is connected to multiple power supplies. When one of them stops working, you can simply unplug it and remove it from the device. Then you can slide in a new one, plug it back in and you’re done..

The first power supply will keep the device operating for at least a few hours. The second power supply will keep the device operating for as long as possible. Users will never have to know there was a problem.

Separate Power Circuits

For situations where you want to be certain that a device will have power at all times, it will be necessary that each of the redundant power supplies operates on a separate electrical circuit.

This will allow the device to continue to run even during a circuit trip or other issues. Running two separate power circuits to each power supply also allows you to perform maintenance and other work on the electrical equipment without taking the device offline. This setup is especially ideal for when uptime is critical.

Using Redundant Power Supplies

If you have any equipment that uses a redundant power supply, it will likely be housed in a data center. The average desktop computer, and even most servers, don’t require this type of hardware to be used.

Fortunately, taking care of a redundant power supply is no more difficult than a single supply. Simply make sure they are clean and provided with a good source of power, and they will ensure your computer equipment is up and ready to go at all times!
