FAQs
The DK 7979.333 PDU is designed for vertical mounting in VX IT enclosure frames and can be attached in zero-U space without tools. Use the enclosure’s mounting points and connect the 3 m CEE input cable to the infeed. Verify phase balance and secure all connections before powering up. This approach minimizes disruption and preserves rack density.
The PDU operates at 400 V AC with a maximum current of 16 A and a total power capacity around 11 kW. It provides energy measurement per phase and supports 18 sockets of type F (CEE 7/3). Infeeds are 3~ three-phase, with a 3 m connection cable, and it offers a fully redundant Ethernet interface (2x RJ45, 1x with PoE) for remote monitoring.
Yes. The DK 7979.333 includes a web server and robust network interface (HTTP/HTTPS/SSH/Telnet/NTP), enabling remote control, monitoring, and scheduling. Its PoE-capable Ethernet supports power-aware automation, while the per-phase measurement supports chargeback, capacity planning, and uptime optimization for IT workloads.
The unit complies with EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1 safety standards. These certifications support regulatory compliance for ICT installations and ensure reliable operation in professional IT environments.
By delivering per-phase energy data and remote management, the PDU enables precise energy cost allocation, reduces on-site maintenance visits, and minimizes unplanned downtime. Over time, improved visibility and automated controls translate to lower operational costs and higher data-center resilience.
