ABB designs data-center racks for one-megawatt power demand

Published Tuesday, September 22, 2026 · 2:08 PM EDT

ABB has introduced a portfolio of data-center racks designed for the rising power and computing requirements of AI infrastructure. ABB Motion President Brandon Spencer said deployments are moving toward roughly one megawatt of power at each rack, with rack-level needs increasing five to six times from current levels. The portfolio addresses power delivery at the rack as operators concentrate more computing equipment in data centers. The performance and demand figures are Spencer's estimates rather than independently reported deployment results.
