Total power consumption:

Due to harmonics problems with the 1500 PCs of the PC farm in D1 and partially in D2, it has been decided to make a separation between the PCs and the front-end electronics by installing two different transformers.

Transformer 1:   All numbers are given in kW    
for the PC farm in D1 and D2        
Item In cavern (detector area) Counting house area   Remarks
         
Barracks D1        
Max. per PCs Rack   10 kW The maximum power that can be cooled for each rack has been considered.
Max. number of racks   50    
         
In D1 barrack (PCs farm)   500
