Eaton's new reference architecture is a key milestone in its collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate 800 VDC power infrastructure in AI factories.

Data center energy load growth, driven by increasingly demanding AI workloads, continues to expand beyond the limits of existing data center capabilities. NVIDIA is working with leading power, silicon and data center partners to pioneer the adoption of 800 VDC and help unlock new levels of scalability and energy optimization in AI factories. These next-generation systems, which feature power distribution integrated with energy storage, are uniquely positioned to handle the power demands of modern AI factories, delivering megawatt-scale rack power safely, efficiently and with minimal material and infrastructure costs.

Eaton's reference design incorporates Eaton solutions with NVIDIA AI infrastructure. Eaton products featured in the design include supercapacitors for fast-cycle power backup; power distribution technology through busbar included in the ORV3 design; a hot aisle containment system to support busway and cable trays within the application; DC connectors and more.

"The introduction of 800 VDC architectures is a transformative advancement for data center innovation that will enable new possibilities in AI computing," said JP Buzzell, vice president and data center chief architect at Eaton. "We're proud to deepen our collaboration with NVIDIA with the introduction of this new reference design, a major step in our grid-to-chip strategy, as we help accelerate the transition to the AI factory of the future."

Eaton's grid-to-chip strategy is a comprehensive approach to providing intelligent solutions for the full AI data center power chain, including power distribution, backup power and digital technologies. Other recent advancements in Eaton's strategy include its collaboration with Siemens Energy to support fast construction of modular data centers with integrated on-site power generation as well as its new edge-based solution to detect and proactively mitigate AI power bursting in data centers.

"Streamlined 800 VDC architectures enable AI infrastructure to meet rising workload demands while maximizing energy efficiency," said Dion Harris, senior director, HPC, Cloud and AI Infrastructure at NVIDIA. "NVIDIA's collaboration with innovators like Eaton is paving the way for high-density computing environments built for the AI industrial age."

Eaton will showcase its latest developments for the 800 VDC architecture in booth A15 at the Open Compute Project Global Summit, taking place October 13-16, 2025, in San Jose, California.
