DATA CENTRE ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Data Centre Electrical Infrastructure Systems
Gersan busbar, cable management, and earthing and bonding systems support the electrical infrastructure of a data centre — from power distribution to cable routing and equipment bonding. InfraVolt provides technical-commercial project support across UK and Ukraine data centre projects.
Gersan manufactures the busbar, cable management, and earthing and lightning-protection systems referenced across this hub. InfraVolt supports UK and Ukraine data centre projects with product selection, technical documentation and technical-commercial coordination — InfraVolt is not the designer, certifier or installer of record for a project.
What electrical infrastructure does a data centre project combine?
A data-centre electrical-infrastructure package can combine structured power distribution (busbar), cable routing and containment, and earthing and equipotential bonding. These are three separate Gersan product families, each covered on its own dedicated page. InfraVolt supports product review, technical documentation and technical-commercial coordination for these systems; the exact system design, certification and installation remain the responsibility of the project's appointed engineers and contractors. No single combination fits every project.
Three Core Infrastructure Systems
Each system below is covered in full on its own dedicated Data Centre page — this hub summarises the role of each without repeating that detail.
Data Centre Busbar Systems
Structured power distribution from transformer and switchboard connections through to downstream tap-off points.
- GS Super Compact (400–6300 A) for high-current transformer and switchboard connections
- GGD Medium Power (160–1000 A) for horizontal distribution, vertical risers and tap-off runs
- GR Cast Resin (500–6300 A) considered where resin-insulated, IP68 construction is specified

Cable routing and containment through data hall, riser, electrical room and plant spaces.
- Wire-Mesh Cable Trays for open overhead structured cabling above server rack rows
- Cable Ladder Systems for high-capacity routes, including the electrical riser
- Cable Tray Systems and Support & Hanging Systems for general routing and structural support
View Data Centre Cable ManagementData Centre Earthing & Bonding Systems
Equipment, rack and containment bonding, plus external lightning protection where specified.
- Equipotential Earth Bars provide common bonding points for equipment and technical spaces
- Conductors, clamps and connectors bond racks, panels and cable containment to the earthing system
- Lightning Protection Products form the external lightning-protection system where a project specifies one

The Data Centre Application Map covers 8 zones — from the main electrical and UPS room and data hall to the electrical riser, generator hall, cooling plant, NOC control room, utility intake and parking & EV services — showing where each product family is used across the site.

The map also shows Underfloor Cable Trunking, LED Systems and EV Charging Systems as additional product families used across these zones.

Open the Data Centre Application MapProject Coordination Checklist
A short checklist for bringing InfraVolt into the technical-commercial conversation on a data centre project.
- Relevant zones and load context for the project
- Cable routes across data hall, riser, electrical room and plant areas
- Equipment, rack, panel and containment bonding points
- Riser and plant-room interfaces between systems
- Material, finish and installation-environment requirements
- Technical data and drawings required for specification
- Bill of quantities / specification review
- Quotation and technical-commercial coordination with InfraVolt
Final design approval, certification and installation responsibility remain with the project's appointed engineers, certifiers and contractors.
Standards & Documentation Scope
Standards applicability varies by product family and by project — the summary below reuses only the wording already published on each system's own Data Centre page.
Busbar Systems
The Data Centre Busbar page does not quote a specific product standard for GS, GGD or GR — confirm current rating, conductor and construction details directly against the relevant Gersan technical documentation.
Cable Management Systems
The current Gersan Cable Management category documentation lists BS EN 61537 and IEC 61537 as applicable standards. Product-family applicability, load data, material/finish and installation details should be confirmed against the relevant technical documentation for the project.
Earthing & Bonding Systems
The current Gersan Earthing & Lightning Protection documentation references IEC/EN 62561 Series, IEC 62305 and BS 7430 across relevant product families. Exact applicability, material selection, conductor/electrode arrangement and project requirements should be confirmed against the relevant technical documentation and project design.
No single standard covers a full data centre electrical-infrastructure package — confirm applicability against each system's own technical documentation and the project's design.
Common Questions
What electrical infrastructure systems are relevant to a data centre?
Busbar systems for structured power distribution, cable management systems for cable routing and containment, and earthing and bonding systems for equipment, rack and containment bonding — each covered on its own dedicated Data Centre page.
When is busbar used in a data centre?
Busbar is used for transformer and switchboard connections, horizontal and vertical power distribution, and tap-off distribution along a run — see the Data Centre Busbar page for the current three-system range.
View Data Centre Busbar SystemsWhat cable management systems are used in data centres?
Wire-mesh cable trays, cable ladders, cable trays and support/hanging systems route power, control and data cabling through the data hall, riser, electrical room and plant spaces — see the Data Centre Cable Management page for the full comparison.
View Data Centre Cable ManagementHow are racks, panels and cable containment bonded?
Equipotential earth bars provide common bonding points, and conductors, clamps and connectors bond racks, distribution panels and cable containment to the facility's earthing system — see the Data Centre Earthing & Bonding page for the full comparison.
View Data Centre Earthing & BondingWhich standards are referenced by relevant Gersan systems?
Cable management references BS EN 61537 and IEC 61537; earthing and lightning protection references IEC/EN 62561 Series, IEC 62305 and BS 7430; the Data Centre Busbar page does not quote a specific standard. Applicability varies by product family and project — see the Standards & Documentation section above.
Does InfraVolt manufacture Gersan products?
No. Gersan is the manufacturer. InfraVolt is the distributor and market representative, and the technical-commercial project contact for UK and Ukraine.
How can I request technical data, project support or a quotation?
Use the Request Quote or Request Technical Pack links on this page, or on any of the three Data Centre system pages, to send your requirement to InfraVolt's technical team.
