IPD has announced the launch of Powerduct Track, an advanced high-density busway system engineered to replace traditional “head cabinet + cable” power distribution architectures in contemporary data centres. As rack power densities continue to rise, legacy cabling methods generate excessive heat, increase system complexity and drive higher maintenance costs.  

Powerduct Track addresses these challenges through an 800A, two-bar copper busway designed for rapid deployment, exceptional reliability and seamless scalability. 

Powerduct Track can be configured with integrated DC management, enabling real-time monitoring of current, voltage, power, harmonics and other critical electrical parameters. The system supports multiple communication protocols, providing operators with comprehensive visibility across their power infrastructure. 

To streamline installation and expansion, Powerduct Track features customisable plug-in tap-off boxes equipped with a self-locking mechanism that ensures fast, secure and disruption-free power connections. A flexible sliding contact system with dual compensation technology delivers consistently low-resistance electrical performance, even in high-density environments where equipment is frequently added or reconfigured. 

Supported end-to-end by IPD’s full project delivery capabilities including BIM modelling, design validation, delivery support, installation training, site acceptance testing, and O&M documentation, Powerduct Track provides a robust, intelligent and scalable power backbone for next-generation data centres. 

“Powerduct Track is built to solve the challenge of keeping up with the rapid expansion of data centres,” said Chet Perera, Product Manager at IPD. “Operators want higher density, faster deployment and zero downtime. This system delivers all three, with room to grow.”
