According to the post, a (PDF file) document released by the French investigative authority, Bureau of Industrial Risk Research and Analysis (Bureau d'enquêtes et d'analyses sur les risques industriels: BEA-RI), states that the facility was located shortly before the fire broke out. It is reported that the humidity inside is rising.
Below are the temperature (top) and humidity (bottom) measurements of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that broke out. It has been shown that both temperature and humidity have risen sharply after midnight.
And the video image of OVH showed that the fire broke out from the UPS at around 0:35.
At the same time, a fire broke out from the battery room, which is a separate room from the UPS. Regarding this, BEA-RI said, 'Video surveillance system and fire inspection revealed that the UPS and the battery connected to it had an electrical failure. The UPS and the battery were not in the same room.' It explains.
BEA-RI has not identified the cause of the UPS failure, but along with the hypotheses such as 'failure due to maintenance work performed on the morning of the day' and 'operation of the UPS outside the normal operating range', 'there is a cooling device nearby'. , This caused water and moisture. '
