And we're also independently working with independent engineering firms to validate our reliability testing that we're doing in-house to validate the reliability architecture.
I think I should pause on that for a bit.
You know, in the same way that there's distributed redundancy in the AC data center, you know, we kind of have that inside of our product.
It's a modular product.
There's 30 power conversion cells per five megawatt product.
And inside that, you know, any given one, actually up to six of them can fail and it'll still act as a power converter.
You'll have a little bit of power.
Up to five makes it.
Up to six cells will fail out of 30 and you can still produce the full voltage.
You'll have some power degradation.
Like if you have a cell failure, you'll lose 3% of the five megawatts, but it'll still work.
And so the way I like to think of this is,
You know, one of the arguments against solid state transformers is, well, it's an active device, doesn't it have all kinds of new failure modes?
And in the scheme of a data center where you're going to have active power conversion, I mean, now we have it many times on both sides of the UPS.
We have it in the rack a bunch of times.
If you're going to have power conversion, how do you have that power conversion in a way where you turn that weakness of active power conversion into a strength?
And the way to do it is make it fail operational by design.
So you turn a, you know, passive five megawatt transformer failure that needs a crane to replace it, which is why you have this ABC for to make three architecture in the first place, because those objects when they fail are a pain to fix.
You replace that with a it'll keep working.
You can schedule a 10 minute downtime shelf in and out type replacement whenever you want.
