High-Density Rack Power Demands

When there is insufficient power capacity per PDU or outlet, one approach is adding PDUs (as many as 8 per cabinet) to meet desired cabinet kW ratings. Alternatively, using a smaller number of higher-amperage PDUs with higher breaker counts delivers more power on a per-outlet basis. In cases where excess RU space is available, high-power horizontal rack PDUs are an option and allow for room for cabling and connectivity to meet overall density demands. Server Technology offers the following high-density rack PDU configurations:

• Voltages from -48VDC and 208V to 480V AC
• Input current from 16A to 100A+
• Power Capacity of 10kW to 57.6kW+
• Form factor options from vertical 0U and horizontal 1U to 4U
• Up to 12 20A 100% fully rated 10kAIC hydraulic-magnetic circuit breakers

Revolutionary Intelligence to Prevent Downtime

Power-hungry servers can cause power quality issues like power leaks, distortions, or variations, which can lead to unplanned downtime or wasted power and stranded capacity. Even a short outage can lead to substantial losses and business disruption. Harmonic distortion in data centers can lead to several negative impacts, including equipment overheating, reduced efficiency, a higher risk of equipment failure, interference with communication lines, tripping circuit breakers, UPS issues, power capacity planning challenges, and a deterioration of the power factor. To prevent downtime before it becomes a bigger problem, the PRO4X Rack PDU offers

• Integrated ±0.5% energy metering accuracy
• Advanced power quality monitoring, including neutral voltage, total harmonic distortion, and voltage dip and swell metrics at the PDU's inlet and outlets
• Circuit breaker trip forensics with waveform capture
• Plug-and-play rack management accessories

Server Technology intelligent PDUs meet the highest reliability standards and offer multiple metering data points to help minimize downtime and ensure infrastructure resilience.
