50V DC power systems

Coming Soon! Eaton’s modular DC power solutions meet you where you are in your power journey, enabling efficient and cost-effective 50V DC power deployment in busbar-enabled 19" racks while also supporting fully integrated 21” OCP ORV3 racks.

Accelerating rack density is driving DC power adoption

Data center power architectures are shifting toward DC as AI and HPC drive higher rack densities. Eaton’s modular 50V DC solutions deliver rack-level power—scaling from 33 kW to 198 kW per rack—without the complexity of custom or ODM designs.

Scalability
Expand from 33 kW to 198 kW per rack
Serviceability
Hot-swappable modules help reduce downtime
Simplicity
Off-the-shelf DC power infrastructure—no custom or ODM sourcing required
Compatibility:
Works with busbar-enabled 19” and 21” racks from any vendor

Power shelf

  • Delivers up to 33 kW in 1RU and scales up to 198 kW per rack.
  • Complies with the ORV3 high power rack (HPR) specification.
  • Holds up to six hot-swappable 5.5 kW high-efficiency PSUs.
  • Supports N+1, N+N or 4M3 (4-to-make-3) redundancy and flexible input power options.
  • Installs in busbar-enabled 19” EIA racks or 21” OCP ORV3 racks (ORV3 rack installation requires ORV3 rail kit, sold separately.)

BBU shelf

  • Provides > 90 seconds of battery backup runtime at full load for a variety of application needs.
  • Holds up to six hot-swappable 2.8 kW BBU modules in 1RU (16.8 kW BBU shelf capacity.)
  • Installs in busbar-enabled 19” EIA racks or 21” OCP ORV3 racks (ORV3 rack installation requires ORV3 rail kit, sold separately.)

Key applications:

  • AI and HPC racks, including busbar-enabled 19” EIA racks and 21” OCP ORV3 racks
  • Enterprise and colocation white space deployments
  • System integrator builds and repeatable rack configurations
  • Hyperscale/neocloud deployments requiring higher power density
  • OCP pilot/migration programs, with or without Eaton’s ORV3 racks
