As data centers scale to support AI workloads exceeding 200kW per IT load, the need for smarter, denser, and more efficient power distribution is intensifying. This whitepaper from ABB introduces a comprehensive reference design for high-density tap-off units in busway systems, helping engineers deliver scalable, reliable, and IEC-compliant power distribution across AI-ready environments.

Discover how ABB’s modular approach to protection and metering devices enhances performance, reduces copper use by up to 32%, and simplifies monitoring across high-density architectures. From thermal derating and mounting configurations to digital communication and predictive maintenance, this guide provides practical insight for system integrators and OEMs building the next generation of AI-driven data centers.
