Electrical safety solutions for data centers

 Power density creates both the uptime your facility depends on and the hazard that puts it at risk. Lume Safety keeps it measured, maintained and documented.

Why it matters

In data centers, electrical risk and uptime risk are the same problem

Data centers run more electrical load, more continuously, than almost any other facility. That raises both the arc flash hazard and the cost of any unplanned event. NFPA 70B's maintenance requirements and NFPA 70E's work-practice rules both apply, and an incident on energized gear is measured in downtime as much as in safety.

Built for Data Centers

High-density infrastructure demands a more rigorous approach to electrical safety

Lume Safety covers the full scope of electrical safety compliance, coordinated around your uptime requirements.

 

  • Arc flash assessments sized for high-density power distribution and elevated incident energy levels

  • Infrared inspections that catch overloaded circuits, failing connections and thermal anomalies before they cause an outage

  • Preventive maintenance programs built around your equipment and uptime schedule

  • NFPA 70E training for facilities staff, contractors, and anyone working in the data hall

  • Complete NFPA 70E and 70B program and documentation

Challenges we help solve

More load and complexity means more can go wrong

 

Lume Safety addresses the risks that matter most in data centers.

  • High-density power distribution systems with elevated arc flash incident energy levels

  • UPS systems, switchgear and PDUs that run continuously with limited maintenance windows

  • Thermal anomalies and overloaded circuits that build undetected and show up as outages

  • Frequent equipment additions and infrastructure changes that invalidate current assessments

  • Staff and contractors performing electrical work without current NFPA 70E training

  • No documented electrical maintenance program (EMP) despite mandatory NFPA 70B requirements

  • Uptime SLAs and insurance requirements demanding current, documented electrical safety compliance
