| Abstract | DC is proposed for use in data centers as an alternative to AC distribution primarily based on publicized claims of efficiency improvements and energy savings.

This paper compares the results of four different publicized studies and explains the assumptions and mistakes that have led to erroneous but widely circulated beliefs about the efficiency benefits of DC power distribution.
