FAQs
The PDU is designed for convenient zero-U mounting in VX IT frames, with a compact footprint (44 mm wide, 1,895 mm long, 70 mm deep). Use the 3 m feed cable to connect from the infeed and secure the PDU within the VX IT mounting rails. The rotatable display aids on-site commissioning, and the replaceable controller simplifies maintenance without removing the enclosure. Ensure clearance for the cable entry and access to USB and the web interface for configuration.
It provides per-phase energy measurement (and infeed measurement) across a 400 V AC, 32 A supply. This enables detailed energy accounting and load balancing at the rack level. Data is accessible via the USB interface for mass configuration and via the built-in web server for remote monitoring, with time synchronization via NTP to ensure consistent metering data across devices.
Yes. The DK 7979.234 is CE-marked under the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and is designed to EN 62368-1 safety standards, aligning with common data center electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. This helps ensure regulatory compliance, safer operation, and interoperability with other IT infrastructure components.
Yes. Optional Type 3 overvoltage protection with interchangeable arresters is available, along with residual current measurement (type B) per infeed/phase/fuse. It also supports CAN bus sensors for ambient monitoring and can be integrated with other enclosure sensors (CMC III). This enables scalable protection and environmental awareness as your rack density grows.
The per-phase energy data supports accurate chargeback, capacity planning, and energy-optimization initiatives, potentially reducing cooling and peak-demand costs. USB mass configuration simplifies fleet-wide updates, while the replaceable display/controller reduces on-site service time. Regular firmware updates via the web server help maintain performance and security, delivering longer device lifespans and more stable energy management.
