Behind every data center lies an invisible—but vital—infrastructure
You monitor your servers, your data flows and your ambient temperatures 24/7…
But who monitors your power connections?
Whether you are hosting critical data, ensuring the uptime of online services or supporting the rise of AI, your data center relies on a flawless electrical infrastructure.
Even a single weak point—from transformers to connectors—can trigger a major disruption.
Excessive heat leads to overconsumption. And poor maintenance can result in costly downtime.
MARECHAL ELECTRIC designs high-performance electrical connection solutions to meet these challenges head-on.
With three key objectives:
- Secure operations – No risk of contact with live parts.
- Boost your energy efficiency indicator (PUE) – Minimize losses, reduce heat, control costs.
- Enable maintenance – Safe disconnection, reduced downtime.
Energy losses due to heating: the hidden enemy draining your budget
Up to 40% of a data center’s energy can be consumed by cooling systems1.
One of the root causes? Energy losses due to heating in the electrical installation.
These losses—known as the Joule effect—generate unwanted heat that:
- increases your cooling load,
- accelerates component wear,
- drives up energy costs.
Engineered to reduce losses and extend lifespan
Our industrial connectors are built to fight overheating, with technologies such as:
- High-performance silver-nickel contacts – Ultra-low resistance.
- Spring-loaded terminals – No need for re-tightening, compensate for copper deformation due to vibrations.
- Capability to withstand overloads up to 10 times the nominal current rating – Consistent performance in continuous operation.
MINIMIZED LOSSES = LESS HEAT GENERATED = FEWER COOLING REQUIREMENTS = GREATER PUE
A well-powered data center is a fully controlled ecosystem
