Introduction
Description
The Eaton
®
Advanced Enclosure Power Distribution Unit (ePDU
®)
is an intelligent ePDU that is designed to
distribute power within a standard 19" rack. A wide range of models let you connect and manage C13 and C19
outlets from a single power connection with monitoring or switching capabilities, or both.
The monitoring or switching capabilities are characterized as follows:
l
Advanced Monitored (AM) with individual outlet monitoring but no outlet control
l
Switched (SW) with control of outlets but no individual outlet monitoring
l
Managed (MA) with control and monitoring at the outlet level
These capabilities are expressed in the model numbers of the ePDUs.
Eaton ePDU Models
There are 28 Eaton Advanced ePDU models. These models are categorized into eight model types defined
primarily by the input and outlet configurations. The Advanced ePDU models support single-phase or
three-phase applications and can manage up to 24 outlets. All models feature an LCD window, LEDs to indicate
outlet status, and a set of communication connectors. The Advanced ePDUs have either attached or detached
input power cords and some models have circuit breakers.
Figure 1 shows an example of the Type 1 ePDU.
