Tripp Lite by Eaton 17.3kW 220-240V 3PH Switched PDU with LX Interface

Designed for data centers, server rooms, and high-density network closets, this Tripp Lite by Eaton switched PDU is a high-performance power distribution and management solution. It delivers a robust 17.3 kW of reliable three-phase power, 24 independently controllable outlets, and advanced network-level visibility. With LX interface and Gigabit connectivity, you gain granular, per-outlet control—enabling you to turn on, turn off, reboot, or lock out power to individual outlets from anywhere in your data center. The combination of real-time monitoring, an intuitive LCD readout, and a compact 0U footprint makes this PDU an essential component for maintaining uptime, optimizing energy usage, and simplifying remote administration in demanding environments.

• Powerful 3-phase distribution with per-outlet control. Delivers up to 17.3 kW across 24 outlets, empowering dense server deployments while giving you the precision control needed to manage critical loads and balance circuits effectively.
• Network-grade management at your fingertips. LX interface with Gigabit Ethernet enables remote monitoring, SNMP integration, and centralized control across your IT infrastructure. Watch live power metrics, configure alerting, and perform remote power actions without on-site visits.
• Granular outlet-level operations. Turn on, turn off, reboot, or lock out each outlet individually. Troubleshoot faults, perform maintenance, and isolate issues quickly to minimize downtime and protect sensitive equipment.
• Real-time visibility and reliability features. An LCD display, outlet monitoring, and precise electrical metrics provide you with actionable data on voltage, current, and energy consumption. Proactive management helps optimize energy use and prevent overloading.
• Rugged, space-efficient, and cost-conscious design. 0U rack footprint with a 1.8 m power cord and overall 1.8 m length fits seamlessly into standard data center racks. IEC 309 30A red input and compatible 380–415V systems make it an ideal fit for regional power architectures, while TAA compliance aligns with procurement standards.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 17.3kW 3-Phase Switched PDU

Begin with a clear plan for power distribution in your rack to ensure even load balancing across your three-phase system. Confirm that your data center power source supports 380–415 V three-phase input and that the circuits feeding the PDU can supply up to 30 A per phase. Prepare the rack space by verifying the 0U mounting area will accommodate the PDU’s length and that your rack has adequate structural support for the weight and cable management requirements.

Step-by-step installation flow:

• Mounting the PDU: Slide the PDU into the 0U space in the rack or attach it securely according to your cabinet’s mounting guidelines. Ensure the unit is level and stable, with clearance for the LCD display and cable connections.
• Connecting the power input: Connect the IEC 309 30 A red input plug to your dedicated 3-phase power source rated for 380–415 V. Verify that circuit breakers and feeders in your electrical distribution system are sized appropriately for the PDU’s 17.3 kW load.
• Cabling and outlet layout: Route device power cables to each outlet, using labeling to match critical equipment with individual outlets. Keep cables organized to promote airflow and simplify troubleshooting.
• Networking and management setup: Connect the PDU’s LX interface to your management network with a Gigabit Ethernet link. Assign a static IP or enable DHCP as your network policy requires. Access the LCD and web/CLI interfaces to begin configuration.
• Configure outlet monitoring and protections: Enable per-outlet monitoring (voltage, current, power usage) and set alert thresholds to trigger notifications if a circuit approaches capacity or a device experiences power faults.
• Test and validate: Power up the PDU and verify that each outlet responds to on/off commands, reboots devices as needed, and supports lockout for maintenance windows. Confirm that monitoring data appears in the LX interface and any integrated dashboards.
• Documentation and labels: Record outlet-to-device mappings, network credentials, and alert settings. Label cables and outlets for future maintenance and audits.

Maintenance tip: Periodically review outlet utilization trends and runtime statistics. The combination of real-time metrics and historical data helps you identify aging equipment, optimize load distribution, and plan for capacity expansion while maintaining service levels.
