NVL72 MGX busbar current rating (NVIDIA/OCP): a deeper-profile, ORV3-width bar at roughly 2x prior ampacity

1,400 Aobserved

Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
ScopeNVIDIA's OCP contribution states a 1,400 A bus bar and 1RU liquid-cooled compute and switch trays. It does not establish a two-feed circuit: a supply and its return carry the same current, so 1,400 A at 48 V is ~67 kW delivered. A ~132 kW continuous rack implies ~2,750 A of aggregate circuit current from parallel feeds or distributed injection; take that topology from the OEM power-distribution drawing.
