Modern data centers now operate more like high-density industrial power systems than traditional IT rooms, pushing the limits of conductor ampacity, grounding, overcurrent protection, and medium-voltage distribution.
U.S. data center electricity consumption has tripled from 58 TWh in 2014 to 176 TWh in 2023, with projections suggesting it could reach 325-580 TWh by 2028—potentially consuming up to 12% of total U.S. electricity generation.
The race toward faster, greener data centers is bringing a surge of uncertified and custom equipment — leaving inspectors and AHJs to determine compliance in a rapidly changing landscape.

Electrical inspectors are being transformed by technology—leveraging advanced diagnostics, drones, VR/AR, and AI to work smarter while simultaneously learning to evaluate the smart grids, IoT systems, and AI-driven infrastructure they now inspect.
Building departments, the most forward-facing department in a local
government, have a lasting impact through their employees.
This #IAEINewsLIVE session will perform a short circuit study on a small system leveraging the per-unit method of calculations and complex variables.
Today’s IAEINewsLIVE program will take a walk on the math side and talk about complex numbers and how they are used by power systems engineers and others who calculate things like fault currents.
This IAEINewsLive is a focus on Tom’s top 10 changes found in the 2023 NEC. This will focus on just Chapters 1 – 4.
This article explains the intent and importance of NEC 300.4, emphasizing how proper protection against fastener penetration remains critical to preventing conductor damage, shock hazards, and fire risks.
As electrical failures continue to cause fires and costly downtime, this article highlights why NFPA 70B has become a critical tool for ensuring safe, reliable, and proactively maintained electrical systems.
As use of digital technologies increases in manufacturing environments, protecting both physical operations and network infrastructure becomes a critical business priority.
