Overview
The Zonit Power Distribution System (Z-PDS
™
)
is an extremely
versatile and reliable power delivery solution for data centers and
tele-communication closets with many innovative patented and
patent pending features. It delivers 208V or 480V three phase A-B
redundant power directly at the rack and outputs a wide variety of
power configurations. Depending on the power density needed in
each rack a single Z-PDS can feed multiple plug strips or power IT
equipment such as blade servers. A typical deployment uses a Z-PDS
to provide A+B redundant power to multiple racks.
The Z-PDS has patented phase load balancing technology which
statistically distributes power loads evenly across all phases to
eliminate manual balancing of the per phase power loads on UPS
units and generators. It also has individual circuit breaker
protection for each hot phase of each output to minimize the
impact of any fault. While plug strips are typically attached to the
outputs of the Z-PDS it is possible to connect either plug strips or IT
equipment directly. All output connections are made via standard
plugs and receptacles so no electricians are needed to make
changes. A wide variety of standard and custom plug adapters for
the Z-PDS system are available from Zonit.
The Z-PDS system is the logical evolution of power distribution in
the data center. By moving three phase power to the rack and
tapping it via inexpensive plug adapters, the same result as running
a new whip from a three phase power panel or putting a new tap
box in an overhead busway can be achieved, easier, quicker and
cheaper.
