Tripp Lite by Eaton 14.4kW 208V 3-Phase Monitored Per-Outlet PDU

The Tripp Lite by Eaton 14.4kW monitored per-outlet PDU is engineered to deliver reliable, scalable power distribution in data centers, computer rooms, and high-density network closets. With 18 outlets and a 50A CS8365C input, this 208V, 3-phase unit supports dense rack deployments while providing proactive outlet-level monitoring. An LX interface paired with a Gigabit network connection enables secure remote management, real-time energy data, and alerting that helps operators optimize uptime and energy efficiency. The built-in LCD provides at-a-glance readings on voltage, current, and power, while the compact 0U footprint and 1.8 meter cord simplify installation in tight spaces. This PDU is designed for reliability, visibility, and control—key elements for efficient data center operations and precise capacity planning.

• Outlet-by-outlet monitoring with real-time measurements and status indicators lets you see voltage, current, and power consumption for every outlet, enabling precise load balancing, fault isolation, and energy optimization across the entire rack.
• LX interface with Gigabit Ethernet provides secure, scalable remote management and easy integration into existing data center infrastructure monitoring systems, so you can configure alerts, collect data, and automate responses from a central console.
• High-capacity power delivery: 14.4 kW total, 208V three-phase configuration with a 50A CS8365C input, designed to support high-density racks and mixed equipment loads without sacrificing reliability or protection.
• Local readability and control via an LCD display allow operators to monitor essential parameters on-site, perform quick checks, and adjust settings without specialized software, reducing mean time to detect and resolve issues.
• Compact 0U mounting footprint with a long 1.8 m power cord and rugged build provides versatile deployment options in tight spaces, simplifies cable management, and supports flexible rack configurations while maintaining compliance with industry standards, including TAA.

how to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 14.4kW 208V 3PH Monitored Per-Outlet PDU

• Verify electrical service and readiness: Confirm that your data center or rack location provides a 208V, 3-phase supply and supports a 50A input. Ensure the power distribution path aligns with the CS8365C input requirements and that protective devices are rated for the current load.
• Prepare the rack and mounting location: Identify a 0U mounting space in the rack where the PDU will be installed. Clear space for cable management and ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating.
• Mount the PDU: Secure the PDU to the rack using the included mounting hardware or as specified by the 0U installation kit. Confirm that the unit is level and firmly fastened to support the connected devices and prevent vibration or movement during operation.
• Connect input power and network: Connect the 50A CS8365C input to the appropriate power source. Connect the PDU’s management interface to your network using the Gigabit Ethernet connection to enable LX-based monitoring and alerting.
• Configure monitoring and alerts: Access the LX interface to set up user access, device discovery, and alarm thresholds for voltages, currents, and power consumption per outlet. Configure alert channels (email or integrated management systems) to ensure timely notification of anomalies or fault conditions.
• Connect downstream equipment and verify operation: Plug servers, switches, and other equipment into the 18 outlets. Use the LCD display to verify readings and confirm that each outlet reports correctly. Validate that monitoring data appears in your centralized dashboard and that alerts trigger as expected.
• Test system performance and documentation: Run a controlled load test to verify that distribution remains stable under planned maximums. Document the configuration, outlet mappings, and monitoring settings for ongoing maintenance and future capacity planning.
