TECHNICAL COLLABORATION ON SOUTH AFRICA DATA CENTRE CONTRACT

J Power and Perkins joined forces to provide the 5000 kVA of back-up power required by a data centre in South Africa to safeguard business continuity and keep data flowing 24/7.

Energy reliability is a critical ingredient for data centres. To meet the needs of the power-hungry site in Cape Town, AJ Power built  and supplied two Perkins-powered AJ2500 generating  sets from its largest 9 Series range. Operating in a dual  redundancy arrangement, the two sets—each fitted with a  Perkins® 4016-61TRG3—could provide a total of 5000 kVA  of back-up power needed to support a new segment of  the building’s electrical load at any time the local grid let the side down.
