Power Distribution Units (PDU)
The overwhelming trend in data centers these days is ever higher
concentrations of physically smaller but more powerful processing
units each with their own power supply and cord. Additionally,
many of these units can now be ordered with redundant power
supplies which mean 2 and sometimes 3 power supplies and cords.
These factors have in turn caused a quantum jump in the number
of dedicated AC power circuits required.
Centrally located Power Distribution Units (PDU’s) are
usually the most cost effective solution to this
latest challenge. In addition, the PDU can optionally
accomplish voltage transformation, Synchronous no-break
switching between two UPS sources, power monitoring and
Emergency Power Off functions if desired.
PDU’s ranging in size from 50 to 300 kVA, 42 to 252 poles,
480 or 208 volts are available from Static Power.
