Eaton Power Module — High-Density Data Center Power Distribution

The Eaton Power Module is a compact, high-density power distribution solution designed to streamline data center operations. Engineered to deliver up to 36 kW of power in a 3U cabinet, this module provides robust electrical performance in a small footprint, enabling IT teams to maximize rack density without sacrificing reliability. Designed for seamless integration into Eaton's intelligent power ecosystem, the Eaton Power Module supports direct connection from a three-phase UPS (such as the Eaton BladeUPS) or from other utility sources, feeding downstream distribution devices like Eaton ePDU and other compatible power components. With modular architecture and advanced monitoring, this device helps you maintain uptime, optimize energy use, and simplify cable management across the data center, edge, or colocation environments.

As data centers grow, the need for scalable, secure, and efficient power delivery becomes critical. The Eaton Power Module addresses these challenges by combining a compact form factor with flexible input options and a straightforward installation path. The 3U cabinet height ensures rapid deployment in standard rack rows, while its design emphasizes ease of maintenance, serviceability, and clear visibility of critical power metrics. Operators benefit from a streamlined path from utility or UPS to downstream PDUs, minimizing complexity and reducing potential fault points in the power chain. The unit is built to perform in demanding data center environments, where reliability and performance are essential for maintaining server availability and workplace productivity. This alignment with Eaton RPM lineage underscores a commitment to dependable, scalable power distribution that supports growing IT workloads.

How to install Eaton Power Module

Preparation and safety first: verify compatibility with your three-phase UPS (for example, Eaton BladeUPS) or your main utility feed, and ensure the working environment meets the data center’s standards for temperature, humidity, and airflow. Confirm that the rack installation space provides adequate clearance for maintenance and cooling, and ensure grounding and bonding are in place per local electrical codes. Gather the necessary tools and hardware, including standard 19-inch rack mounting components, a torque-safe wrench for power connections, and appropriate cable management accessories to keep inputs and outputs organized and accessible.

Step-by-step guidance: begin by inspecting the Eaton Power Module and the rack rails to confirm model compatibility and mounting alignment. Install the mounting rails into the rack, securing them per the manufacturer’s instructions, then slide the module into place and fasten it securely. Route input cables from the three-phase UPS or utility source to the module’s input terminals, making sure to observe correct phase arrangement and apply torque to the terminals according to the specifications. Connect the module’s output connections to downstream distribution devices such as an Eaton ePDU, following the predefined load plan and labeling each circuit for clarity. Once the physical wiring is complete, perform a safe power-on sequence, monitor for proper voltage, current, and temperature readings, and verify that all alarms are inactive or configured to reflect normal operation. Finally, integrate the module with Eaton Power Advantage or your preferred monitoring solution to enable real-time visibility, alerting, load balancing, and centralized control for ongoing power management and asset protection.

Commissioning and ongoing care: after initial power-up, document the connection scheme, load calculations, and configured protection settings. Schedule periodic inspections to ensure connections remain torque-tight, cables are intact, and monitoring data continues to reflect accurate conditions. Regular firmware or software updates (as provided by Eaton) should be applied to maintain compatibility with the broader power management ecosystem. With proper installation and proactive monitoring, the Eaton Power Module delivers a resilient, scalable backbone for critical workloads and mission-critical IT infrastructure.
