Anyone see this on the new FAQ for the Ashburn MAE facility? "In addition, backup generators will provide power in case of an AC power failure, however, AC backup is not guaranteed and will not be uninterrupted." I am hoping this is someone's clerical error. Deepak Jain AiNET

But they provide up to 4 hrs of DC power in the same paragraph. They are specifically segregating against AC power which I find interesting. Deepak On Fri, 8 Sep 2000, Charles Scott wrote:

We co-locate with telcos, and this is very common. They don't worry about A/C, since it's used only to charge batteries. By running off batteries, they solve the problem of syncing generators to the utilities. You can solve the problem with DC to AC converters, or by putting in your own UPS. We use APC RM220XLTs. Since there is a higer demand for UPSes than DC/AC converters, equivalent capacities in these two solutions have high cost differentials. Dave Hares
