Power Quality Solutions for Data Center Cooling
The skyrocketing demand for data centers is driven by the exponential growth of data for A.I., IoT, cloud storage, data analytics, security, communications, and digital currency. The cooling centers used within these centers are critical to maintaining proper operating temperatures. On average, cooling represents 40% of a data center’s energy consumption. In order to reduce costs, companies drive better cooling efficiencies through the use of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on the chillers, cooling towers, and electronically controlled (EC) fans and motors. As the demand for VFDs rises, so do the power quality issues. MTE power quality solutions ensure maximum obtainable efficiencies are achieved, less stress on the utility is created, and the lifespan of motors are greatly increased.
Power Quality Challenges for Data Center Cooling
Today’s data centers use massive amounts of energy. The addition of VFDs provide greater flexibility in achieving the efficiencies required to reduce energy costs and CO2 emissions associated with these power demands. VFD usage, however, comes with its own set of challenges in that they generate damaging harmonics that negatively impact the power grid.
Constant monitoring of both the system and the environment in which the data centers live is paramount in protecting these systems from succumbing to these unwanted harmonics. The increased number of monitoring sensors have made it even more important to keep machine communication clean. A drop in fan performance from harmonics can cause the cooling systems to overheat and ultimately, fail.

About MTE
The Power Quality Experts
MTE Corporation was formed in 1982 by bringing together Milwaukee Transformer Co., Transformer Design Inc. and Milwaukee Electronics Corp. – companies that specialized in different fields of magnetics and transformer designs and were long established in their respective fields. MTE vaulted into a leadership role in power quality with its unique AC reactor design and passive filter expertise. We continued to grow as a global leader with innovative Harmonic Filters, Motor Protection Filters and Sinewave Filters.
Now with the addition of TEAL Electronics in 2016, MTE brings a continuum of power quality solutions unmatched in the industry. Building on TEAL’s reputation of high-efficiency transformers and durable power conditioning and distribution units for demanding applications, MTE is building the best power quality company by capitalizing on the individual strength of each while bringing a new dimension in management, marketing, and quality.
Our team of professional design engineers has well over 100 years of collective experience in the industry and is complemented by as much experience in operations. Our engineers utilize state-of-the art platforms and best-in-class simulation/modeling tools so that new designs meet your needs and the latest compliance standards while improving your bottom line. At MTE, we know power quality because power quality is all we do.
