DemandsThe Vertiv™ PowerBar Track double stack configuration delivers flexible overhead power distribution for modern compute environments
Dubai, UAE, March 4, 2026 – Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, has announced the expansion of the Vertiv™ PowerBar Track busway family with the introduction of a compact, high-capacity double stack design that enables higher power density while optimizing valuable white space.
Designed to support rapidly evolving AI workloads in colocation and hyperscale data centers, the scalable system delivers high-capacity power distribution through a flexible and modular architecture. The solution supports future growth, improves energy efficiency, and simplifies deployment while meeting rigorous global safety and performance standards. It offers configurations of up to 2000A under UL standard 857 and up to 2500A under IEC 61439-6, with variants available in both copper and aluminum conductors.
The Vertiv PowerBar Track enables safe, continuous power delivery while allowing live configuration changes without system downtime. Its open-track architecture allows operators to install or relocate tap-off boxes anywhere along the busway while maintaining active load distribution. Each connection point includes built-in mechanical and electrical interlocks to enhance operator safety, while optional integrated metering provides real-time visibility into power usage for improved capacity planning and energy management. The double stack configuration supports higher capacity and more connections per tap-off box and can also scale vertically to efficiently serve high-density environments.
“Power distribution must keep pace with the scale and density of modern AI and high-performance computing environments,” said Kyle Keeper, senior vice president of the power business unit at Vertiv. “As customers navigate increasing power demands, tighter space constraints, and rapidly evolving infrastructure requirements, they need solutions that provide flexibility. Vertiv PowerBar Track double stack is designed to address these challenges by enabling compact yet scalable expansion, supporting live changes, and delivering the reliability required in mission-critical data center environments.”
The busway system integrates with Vertiv’s broader end-to-end power train, including Vertiv™ PowerBoard switchgear, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, and racks, forming a coordinated infrastructure for high-density applications. Supported by Vertiv’s global manufacturing and service network, Vertiv™ PowerBar Track can be configured to aid maintenance, helping reduce maintenance-related downtime while enabling faster deployment and greater adaptability for rapidly expanding data centers.
Vertiv PowerBar Track also contributes to the Vertiv™ 360AI power ecosystem, which combines power distribution, protection, and management technologies designed to support the next generation of AI-ready digital infrastructure.
The system also integrates with Vertiv™ OneCore, a scalable prefabricated data center infrastructure solution, and Vertiv™ SmartRun, a modular overhead IT infrastructure system, enabling a cohesive approach to modular and scalable data center design.
