Schneider Electric Debuts Software-Defined Switchgear for AI Data Centers

At the Yotta 2026 conference in Las Vegas, Schneider Electric introduced the world’s first software-defined medium-voltage switchgear. Designed to meet the explosive power demands of AI infrastructure, the new architecture aims to slash manufacturing and commissioning times while enabling zero-downtime system upgrades for high-density data centers.

The new platform shifts system intelligence from physical hardware to software, allowing operators to deploy standardized modules that evolve alongside their digital workloads. According to company data, this transition reduces control wiring by 87% and terminal counts by 91% compared to traditional engineered-to-order systems. By decoupling the hardware, Schneider Electric enables over-the-air updates, effectively removing the need for physical modifications during future performance enhancements.

Schneider Electric also unveiled the RM AirSeT 38, an SF₆-free switchgear designed for 38 kV architectures to support the high-capacity needs of hyperscale facilities. Complementing these distribution tools is the Galaxy VXL, a high-density uninterruptible power supply capable of delivering 1.25 MW in a single frame. The unit features 'Live Swap' technology, which allows for module replacement without interrupting power. These technologies are currently undergoing pilot programs, with broader market availability scheduled for 2028.
