Abstract
The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory´s $91 million Terascale Simulation Facility (TSF) will soon house the fastest supercomputers in the world that perform trillions of operations per second (teraops). The anticipated electrical power requirements for teraops scale computing and the next generation systems drove the design of the facility. The Laboratory will soon commission an automated fast source transfer scheme that serves the 13.8 kV switchgear that distributes power to TSF.
