Eaton Metered Input Rack PDU – 1U, L6-30P, 5.76 kW, 200-240V, 24A

Power reliability and visibility are essential for data centers, server rooms, and high-density racks. The Eaton Metered Input rack PDU delivers precise energy metering, robust remote monitoring, and scalable management in a compact 1U footprint. With a 200-240V, single-phase supply and a strong 24A rating, this PDU supports up to 5.76 kW of continuous load, making it an ideal choice for racks housing servers, storage devices, network gear, and virtualization hosts. The 10-foot cord provides flexible placement within your rack, helping you optimize cable management and airflow while keeping critical equipment powered and protected. What truly sets this ePDU apart is its metered input capability: you get per-section current draw data that can be monitored remotely over the network. This enables real-time visibility into power usage, supports proactive capacity planning, and helps you maintain uptime by catching anomalies before they become problems. In addition, Eaton’s software ecosystem consolidates data from multiple ePDUs into a single, centralized console, simplifying power management for scalable deployments. For on-site situational awareness, a local display option is available to highlight essential electrical parameters and assist with quick phase-balance checks. Whether you’re outfitting a single rack or coordinating power across a data center, this metered input PDU provides reliable power distribution, actionable insights, and the flexibility to scale with your environment.

• Metered per-section current monitoring: Remote sensing of current draw on individual sections via network communication, enabling accurate power housekeeping and proactive capacity planning.
• Compact 1U form factor with long-range reach: Designed for dense racks, featuring a 10 ft cord to accommodate diverse cabinet layouts and cable routing needs.
• Robust outlet configuration: Eight C13 outlets and four C19 outlets with grip for secure, reliable connections to a mix of IT and network equipment.
• High power capability: 5.76 kW maximum load at 200-240V, 24A, single-phase operation, delivering ample headroom for mixed workloads in modern racks.
• Local and centralized visibility: Optional on-site display supports quick phase balance checks, while Eaton software aggregates data from multiple ePDUs for centralized monitoring and control.

how to install Eaton Metered Input rack PDU

• Choose a suitable 19" rack with adequate clearance for cables and cooling, and confirm the 1U height fits within your rack bay.
• Mount the PDU securely in the rack using the included brackets or rails, ensuring solid grounding and proper alignment for outlet access.
• Connect the input power with the 10 ft cord to a suitable power source rated for 24A at 200-240V. Verify that the supply circuit can handle simultaneous load without tripping breakers or overheating.
• Distribute your IT equipment to the eight C13 outlets and four C19 outlets, balancing load where possible to optimize cooling and prevent overloading any single outlet bank.
• Connect the PDU to your management network and configure monitoring via Eaton software. Set up alerts for over-current, voltage drift, or other critical conditions and enable data aggregation if you manage multiple ePDUs.
• Power on the rack and verify readings on the local display (if installed) and within the centralized management console. Validate per-section metering data by generating a small workload and observing updates in real time.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What voltage and phase does this PDU use?

  A: It operates at 200-240V, single-phase, with a maximum current rating of 24A.

• Q: How many outlets and what types are available?

  A: The PDU provides eight C13 outlets and four C19 outlets with grip, suitable for a mix of IT and networking devices.

• Q: What does metered input mean?

  A: Metered input means the PDU monitors and reports the current draw on its individual sections, giving you visibility into power usage and enabling precise capacity planning and load balancing.

• Q: Can I monitor multiple ePDUs from a single console?

  A: Yes. Eaton software supports aggregating data from many ePDUs in one centralized location, simplifying management for larger deployments.

• Q: Is there a local display?

  A: A local display option is available to show essential electrical parameters and assist with quick phase balance checks on-site.

• Q: What installation considerations should I keep in mind?

  A: Ensure the rack environment has adequate ventilation, confirm the power source can supply up to 24A at 200-240V, and plan cable routing to maintain clean airflow and organized wiring. Network configuration should be completed via the Eaton software to enable remote monitoring and alerts.
