Eaton Tripp Lite Series 3-Phase Local Metered PDU — 23 kW, 42 Outlets

The Eaton Tripp Lite Series 3-Phase Local Metered PDU is engineered to meet the demanding power distribution needs of high-performance data centers and server rooms. Built to maximize reliability and efficiency, this PDU delivers robust load management, precise local metering, and a resilient design that helps IT and facilities teams balance loads, prevent outages, and extend the life of critical equipment. With a dense 3-phase configuration, it supports a wide range of IT environments—from hyperscale server rows to compact edge deployments—while maintaining clear visibility into energy usage and heat generation. Designed for 0U vertical installation, it occupies minimal rack space and integrates seamlessly with standard 19-inch racks, giving you a scalable foundation for future growth and changing workloads.

• High-density power distribution for modern data centers: This Eaton Tripp Lite PDU delivers up to 23 kW of power and provides a total of 42 outlets at 208-240V, with 36 C13 outlets and 6 C19 outlets. That combination supports a broad mix of servers, storage devices, and network gear, enabling you to consolidate equipment in fewer racks without sacrificing availability or accessibility. The 42-outlet configuration is purpose-built to accommodate dense IT deployments, simplify cabling, and streamline management across all devices connected to the PDU. By aggregating power in a single, centralized unit, you reduce the number of distinct power sources while keeping critical equipment on a stable, monitored power plane that aligns with modern data center power architectures.
• Local metering and real-time load monitoring for each phase: The centerpiece of the Local Metered PDU is its built-in metering capability, which provides real-time insight into voltage, current, and power usage across all three phases. With intuitive local readouts on the PDU, data center managers can quickly assess phase balance, detect overload conditions, and optimize distribution of workloads across outlets. This visibility supports energy optimization initiatives, improves capacity planning, and helps prevent overloads that could impact uptime. In addition to per-phase data, the PDU delivers an overall power figure that makes it easier to track total consumption, forecast electrical needs, and justify infrastructure investments—an essential feature for facilities teams responsible for maintaining reliable service levels and efficient energy use.
• Rugged 0U vertical form factor for space-saving rack integration: The PDU’s 0U footprint is designed to maximize usable rack space in dense environments. Its vertical orientation allows you to mount it in narrow rack spaces or in front of equipment racks without encroaching on the front or rear clearance needed for cable management and airflow. The 0U design also simplifies cabling by keeping power distribution out of the way of airflow channels and minimizing clutter around servers and storage devices. This form factor is ideal for data centers, server rooms, and edge locations where space is at a premium but reliable, scalable power distribution remains essential for maintaining performance and uptime.
• Flexible power delivery for mixed workloads with safe, durable construction: The PDU is engineered to handle the rigors of continuous operation in high-density environments. Its rugged build, combined with a dedicated 32A IEC309 input (red, 360-415V 3P+N+E), provides a robust and safe power pathway from the facility to critical IT equipment. The combination of 208-240V output and high-capacity 23 kW rating ensures that a variety of devices—from power-hungry servers to storage arrays and network switches—receive stable power with minimal voltage drop. Even under peak load conditions, the PDU maintains reliable performance, helping to protect sensitive equipment from power-related issues and maintain service continuity. Additionally, its design supports easy maintenance and future expansion as your data center grows or workloads shift through different seasons and demand cycles.
• TA A-compliant design and enterprise-ready reliability: This PDU is built to meet the needs of enterprise and government procurement, including compliance with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). The TAA-compliant attribute ensures that it can be procured for a wide range of environments, including government facilities and large-scale enterprise deployments, without compromising performance or reliability. Beyond compliance, the Eaton Tripp Lite Series 3-Phase Local Metered PDU is backed by a trusted brand known for dependable power distribution solutions. The combination of robust construction, metered intelligence, and scalable capacity makes it a smart choice for facilities teams seeking predictable, long-term reliability in mission-critical IT environments.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 3-Phase Local Metered PDU

• Prepare the rack: Verify that the rack has a clear 0U space dedicated to the PDU and that the surrounding area provides adequate clearance for ventilation and cable management. Ensure the rack is stable and that there is access to a suitable power source for the IEC309 inlet.
• Mount the PDU: Use the included mounting hardware to secure the PDU in the selected 0U space. Align the PDU with the rack rails and tighten fasteners evenly to avoid deformation or misalignment. Confirm that the inlet and outlets are accessible for easy connection of devices and for routine inspections.
• Connect the input power: Attach the IEC309 32A red 3P+N+E inlet to the facility power source rated for 360-415V. Ensure the power source is configured for a balanced three-phase supply and verify that the breaker or fuse protection matches the PDU’s input rating. Double-check the phase rotation to ensure correct alignment with downstream devices.
• Connect outlets and distribute loads: Connect your IT equipment to the 42 outlets (36 C13, 6 C19) in a balanced manner, distributing heavier workloads across multiple banks to minimize voltage drop and hot spots. Use the PDU’s local meter readouts to monitor real-time current per phase and re-balance loads as needed to maintain safe, efficient operation.
• Power on and verify operation: After all connections are secured, power on the PDU and check the local display for correct voltage and current readings. Confirm that outlet pathways are delivering power to connected devices and that the PDU is reporting expected load conditions. If remote monitoring or alerting features are part of your deployment, configure any required network or SNMP settings in accordance with your facility’s monitoring strategy.
