Data center power and cooling are facing higher demands as AI workloads drive greater rack densities and more complex infrastructure. On Thursday, October 8, 2026, at 16:00 CEST (10:00 AM EDT / 14:00 UTC), Elektor and Sensata Technologies will present the webinar Key Sensing and Switching Technologies for Data Center Power and Cooling.
 

Data Center Power and Cooling Webinar with Sensata
Elektor and Sensata Technologies will present a webinar on sensing, switching, power, and cooling technologies for modern data centers on October 8, 2026.

 

The session is aimed at engineers working with sensing, monitoring, power electronics, cooling, switching, and protection in modern data centers. Readers can also browse Elektor's data center coverage for related technical material.

Data Center Power and Cooling Under Load

Higher rack densities place more demand on both electrical and thermal systems. AI-driven computing increases the amount of power that must be delivered within a limited space, while the resulting heat has to be removed reliably. Emerging architectures such as 800 VDC add further design considerations for switching, protection, insulation, monitoring, and system integration.

The webinar will examine the role of sensing and power-management technologies in these systems, with attention to the conditions engineers need to monitor and the protection measures required to maintain stable operation.

Sensing, Switching, and Protection

Cooling systems depend on accurate information about flow, pressure, and temperature. These measurements can be used to identify changing conditions, monitor cooling performance, and support reliable operation. The session will also cover switching and circuit-protection technologies used to manage and protect critical power paths.

Sensata Technologies will present practical engineering considerations for selecting and applying these technologies in data center infrastructure. The emphasis is on real-world use of sensing, electrical protection, switching, and power-management components rather than a general overview of data center architecture.
