In a room of three hundred and thirty data center professionals, a panelist asked who had an arc flash on first time energization in the last twelve months, and nearly every hand went up. Daniel Henderson and Steve Quiett break down why the data center construction boom is producing electrical safety risk faster than the industry can absorb it, why hyperscale schedule pressure raises the danger on commissioning and first energization, and how a cross company steering group of competitors keeps the conversation going long after the conference ends.
