Efficient Power Monitoring in Server Rooms and Critical Business Areas with Didactum DC Current Transducer and DC Connector

Power monitoring is a central topic in IT and business-critical infrastructures today. Especially in server rooms, but also in production facilities, data centers, energy supply areas, or in the field of renewable energies, precise and reliable monitoring of direct current is essential. With the Didactum DC current transducer and the DC connector for current transducers, Didactum offers a state-of-the-art solution for real-time monitoring and integration into the company-wide monitoring infrastructure.

Why is power monitoring in the server room so important?

The server room forms the heart of a company's digital infrastructure. This is where central servers, storage systems, network components, and often critical control and security technology operate. A failure or overload can not only lead to data loss but also to production downtime and significant financial damage.

With the Didactum DC current transducer, you can precisely measure the power consumption and flow of all relevant DC lines in the server room. The DC connector for current transducers transmits these values in real time to the Didactum monitoring system. This way, deviations, overloads, or creeping faults are detected immediately and can be remedied at an early stage. This ensures maximum safety, efficiency, and availability of your IT infrastructure.

Monitoring of critical business areas

Not only the server room benefits from professional power monitoring. Also in other critical areas such as production halls, energy centers, telecommunications systems, or for the monitoring of photovoltaic systems and wind turbines, precise DC measurement is a decisive factor for safe and efficient operation. The Didactum DC current transducer in combination with the DC connector for current transducers enables central, cross-location monitoring and analysis of all relevant current flows in the company.

Installation of DC current transducer and DC connector

The installation of the Didactum DC current transducer is extremely simple and flexible. The current transducer is integrated directly into the DC line to be monitored. Thanks to its open-loop design, it can precisely measure currents in the range of ±100A without interrupting the circuit. This makes retrofitting in existing systems particularly easy and safe.

The DC connector for current transducers is connected to the output of the current transducer. It takes over the task of digitally transmitting the recorded measurement data to the Didactum monitoring system. The connection to the monitoring system can be made via various interfaces and enables seamless integration into the existing monitoring infrastructure. Configuration and monitoring are conveniently carried out via the user-friendly Didactum web interface.

Application examples for the Didactum DC current transducer

The possible applications of the Didactum DC current transducer are extremely diverse and range from classic IT environments to industrial and energy-related applications:

• Power monitoring in the server room: By continuously monitoring the power consumption of servers, switches, UPS systems, and cooling systems, overloads, defective devices, or inefficient consumers can be quickly identified. The Didactum system alerts when thresholds are exceeded and provides valuable data for energy management.
• Monitoring of photovoltaic systems: The Didactum DC current transducer measures the current flow between solar panels, batteries, and inverters. This allows performance losses, shading, or defects to be detected early. The data is transmitted directly to the Didactum monitoring system via the DC connector and is available for evaluations and reports.
• Monitoring of wind turbines: Monitoring the generated direct current is also crucial in wind energy systems. The current transducer ensures that charging and feed-in processes are optimally controlled and that system performance is always traceable.
• Charging stations for electric vehicles: When charging e-vehicles, monitoring the DC current between the grid and the vehicle is important to avoid overcharging or faults. The Didactum DC current transducer detects deviations and reports them via the monitoring system.
• Battery and UPS monitoring: In uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and battery backup systems, the current transducer measures discharge and charging currents. This allows capacity losses, overloads, or defects to be detected early and reported.
• Industrial process monitoring: In production, the current transducer can be used to monitor machines and motors. This helps to avoid overloads and optimize maintenance intervals.
• HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning): The power supply of HVAC systems in large buildings can also be monitored with the Didactum DC current transducer. This ensures stable operation and prevents failures due to overload.
