  • Patent number: 11602069
    Abstract: A modular data center includes a base electrical module having a casing, a controller supported by the casing, and a power distribution unit coupled to the controller. The modular data center further includes an equipment rack having a frame coupled to the base electrical module, with the frame of the equipment rack being configured to receive electronic equipment. The electronic equipment receives power from the base electrical module. The base electrical module is external to the equipment rack.
