800 VDC Power Protection Specialist

The protection layer for 800 VDC data centers

XCaliber engineers the solid-state protection architecture that makes 800 VDC power distribution safe at AI scale — from the facility bus down to the rack. Trusted by operators who cannot afford a single arc.

01 — Protection layer

A hierarchy that never lets a fault through

Every zone of the 800 VDC plant is covered by three independent protection sets. A trip fires only on agreement — so a single sensor failure can never drop a healthy hall.

Level 01Facility Bus

Facility Bus

Main 800 VDC bus · rectifier interface · energy storage tie

Level 02Distribution Zone

Distribution Zone

Busway sections · row feeds · zone-selective interlocking

Level 03Rack & Load

Rack & Load

Rack-level solid-state breakers · server PSU interface · inrush control

Triple-redundant protection

3 × independent sets

Sets A, B and C sample the same current and voltage but run on separate hardware and logic. A trip requires two-of-three agreement.

ASet A — primary logic, solid-state trip path
BSet B — backup logic, independent sensing
CSet C — diverse hardware, watchdog & record

2-of-3 vote → solid-state trip · 1-of-3 → alarm & record

02 — Capabilities

Full-stack DC protection, engineered end to end

C1

DC Fault Interruption

Solid-state breaking of 800 VDC faults in under a millisecond — no arc, no waiting for a zero crossing.

C2

Arc Detection & Mitigation

High-frequency signature analysis detects series and parallel arcs before they escalate.

C3

Selective Coordination

Zone-selective interlocking so only the faulted section trips — the rest of the hall stays live.

C4

Protection IED Integration

IEC 61850 and Modbus TCP integration into your EPMS and DCIM, with GOOSE-class messaging.

C5

Simulation & Validation

EMT-type simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing of every scheme before energization.

C6

Commissioning & Support

On-site testing, protection coordination studies and 24/7 support through the life of the facility.
