Quick Summary
PDU with local measurement powers data-center monitoring in modern server racks. Too little visibility into per-phase load can trigger unexpected downtime and inefficiencies. CE conformity backed by the EMC directive 2014/30/EU ensures compliance across markets; ETIM 9 EC002762 supports standardized product data. This configuration provides reliable power monitoring with per-phase visibility, helping data centers, colocation facilities, and enterprise server rooms optimize energy usage, improve capacity planning, and reduce operational risk.

Article number
DK 7979.711
Design
16 A / single-phase
Product description
Autonomous energy metering unit (including differential current monitoring) in a 1 U/19" form factor. The unit is incorporated into the supply lead to the equipment, a PDU basic or a modular PDU without measurement function. All key electrical characteristics are logged in the same way as with a PDU metered. Additionally, the measurement module features an integral differential current measurement (type B) for fault current monitoring of the connected equipment. Consumption data is conveniently retrieved via a network interface or locally via a TFT display. Additionally, all the PDU metered interfaces, e.g. for connecting external sensors and smart handle systems, are available.
