So those racks can become native 800.
And then on the other side, if you look at the thermal loads and the chillers and things, you know, I've built some factories like medium voltage chillers are already a thing.
Like you don't need to use low voltage 480 or something else to run your chiller plant.
You can...
The supply base exists to go, you know, up into the KV or even, you know, 13 KV and above chillers.
So you can directly wire them without the need for transformers.
And then obviously you've got like lighting and things and there are solutions there as well.
There will still probably be some low voltage popcorn inverter, inverter things that serve those housekeeping stuff.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I think DC also is not... Like, 800 VDC is not the end, right?
Like, when we built the supercharger infrastructure, you know, it was capable of charging EVs from 400 volts all the way up to 1,200 volts.
If you look at solar today, it's 1,500 volts.
All the big battery systems are 1,500 volts.
Solar is actually going to 2,000 volts.
So I think...
you're sort of moving in the direction of when you have power electronics in the circuit and there's already so much power electronics in the data center, then you have a lot more flexibility in what you do for distribution.
You know, you're going to convert AC to DC somewhere because the compute chip is one volt DC.
So, you know, you're going to do that conversion.
What you want to be thinking about is how do I optimize serviceability, build out, copper overhead, total cost, you know, uptime?
