✍️ A recent fire at a data center used by Elon Musk's X may have been caused by an electrical or mechanical issue in the power system, according to an official investigation.
👉 The fire was reported to have started in a Schneider Electric Galaxy VX uninterruptible power supply (UPS) cabinet. 👉 The UPS system is common at data centers and acts as a filter and temporary battery. 👉 The fire department investigator was unable to visually identify a cause for ignition, but couldn't rule out electrical or mechanical failure of a complex electrical system. 👉 The fire caused an estimated $260,000 in losses to the data center, including total destruction of one power cabinet and damage to two neighboring ones.
