MediaRelease.co Summary

Vertiv has introduced the PowerStation 3100 RPP, a high-density remote power panel for AI and HPC racks above 100 kW, available now in North America. A single UL 891-listed platform supports 600 A to 1,200 A configurations. Each branch breaker has a remote shunt trip so a coolant leak can isolate one rack without shutting down neighbouring racks. It can run standalone or with Vertiv SmartRun and OneCore.

Original release

The Vertiv™ PowerStation 3100 RPP delivers 600 A to 1,200 A on a single UL-listed platform, enabling 100 kW+ racks without custom engineering

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Nov. 13, 2026) — Vertiv Holdings Co. (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today introduced the Vertiv™ PowerStation 3100 RPP, a high-density remote power panel designed to help data center operators streamline power distribution for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) racks with power densities exceeding 100 kW. The solution is available now in North America.

These architectures introduce new protection and power-isolation requirements. Delivering 415 V or 480 V power to the rack through four-wire designs can increase available fault current, raising short circuit withstand requirements at the rack level. At the same time, adoption of direct liquid cooling has created a need to isolate power to an individual rack if a coolant leak is detected. Traditional remote power panels were not designed for these demands.

"As new GPU generations drive higher rack power demands, customers need distribution infrastructure that supports both current deployments and evolving architectures,” said Kyle Keeper, Senior Vice President of Vertiv’s Power Business Unit. “We work with customers to select the right power distribution strategy for their application, whether remote power panel or busway-based, and have developed a solution that delivers the full range of required capacity while accelerating deployment,"

Keeper added: "The Vertiv PowerStation 3100 RPP is designed to address these requirements as a standardized, pre-configured solution that aligns with Vertiv AI reference designs and can be deployed as a standalone system or integrated with Vertiv™ SmartRun and Vertiv™ OneCore."

Purpose-Built for AI Power Architectures

Built on a custom busbar architecture with molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs), the Vertiv PowerStation 3100 RPP supports 600 A, 800 A, 1,000 A, and 1,200 A configurations on a single hardware platform, providing three to five times the capacity of traditional panelboard-based RPPs. Delivered as a complete, UL-891 listed assembly, the solution is designed to support both fully AC power distribution and DC power rack architectures, enabling operators to standardize on a single platform across deployment types.

Designed for the Realities of High-Density Power Distribution

The Vertiv PowerStation 3100 RPP is designed to address critical challenges that emerge as rack densities increase and power architectures evolve:

  • Enhanced fault current protection: The system features circuit breakers with higher short-circuit withstand and interrupting ratings to manage increased fault-current exposure in four-wire architectures providing greater design flexibility while reducing the need for additional fault-current mitigation and the risk of equipment damage or service interruption.
  • Liquid cooling leak isolation: Each branch circuit breaker includes an integrated remote shunt trip, enabling the facility's leak detection system to isolate power to an individual rack the moment a leak is detected, without shutting down adjacent racks or the entire pod. This feature helps contain incidents, preserve uptime and protect AI workload productivity. The shunt trip accessory is embedded within the breaker, adding no additional footprint.
  • Branch circuit breakers with adjustable trip units: Operators can switch between 60 A, 100 A and 150 A trip-unit ratings within the same circuit breaker frame, providing a future-ready design that allows the system to accommodate changing rack power demands without replacing breakers.
  • Integrated metering: Provides visibility into power use and quality, while circuit breaker accessory monitoring reports the position and trip status of every circuit in real time.

The compact enclosure supports flexible installation in space-constrained environments, with front-only service access and mounting flexibility. Standardized configurations can be replicated across deployments, helping simplify installation, commissioning, and maintenance as data center capacity scales

The Vertiv™ PowerStation 3100 RPP is the final power distribution stage before the rack level in Vertiv's end-to-end power path for AI and HPC facilities. The solution can be deployed as a standalone system or integrated with Vertiv™ SmartRun, Vertiv's integrated infrastructure solution that combines power and thermal management into a pre-configured system, or with Vertiv™ OneCore, a scalable, factory-built data center solution that brings together Vertiv power, thermal, and IT infrastructure. Together, these solutions enable operators to move beyond point-product deployments toward a coordinated power infrastructure that simplifies operations and accelerates time to capacity.
