Circuit breaker trip time
Depending on the model, the PM IPDU uses either one 10 amp, one 20 amp, two 15 amp, or two 16
amp circuit breakers. Table C.5 shows the circuit breaker trip time for all PM IPDU models except
the PM42 IPDU.
CAUTION:
Do not pull a plug with a live electrical load from an outlet on the PM IPDU. This can cause damage
to your equipment. The off command provides a means to safely turn off the power to the selected outlet before
pulling the plug from the outlet.
