Tripp Lite by Eaton 7.4kW Single-Phase Metered PDU – 230V, 2-C19/16-C13, 12 ft Cord, 2U Rack-Mount, Blue Input Plug

The Tripp Lite by Eaton PDUMH32HV is a premium, metered power distribution unit designed for demanding data centers, server rooms, and network closets. Built as a horizontal, 2U rack-mount PDU with a robust 32A capacity at 230V, it delivers dependable power management for high-density equipment while giving you precise load visibility. With a 12-foot attachment cord and a blue IEC-309 input plug, this PDU is prepared to fit a wide range of rack configurations and facility layouts, helping you optimize space, reduce downtime, and maintain clean, organized power distribution across critical IT assets.

• High-capacity, single-phase power distribution: Supports up to 32A at 230V, making it ideal for mid- to high-density server and networking deployments. The generous capacity ensures you can power multiple devices without frequent circuit trips, enabling you to consolidate infrastructure in a single rack without sacrificing performance.
• 18 outlets organized into two separately breakered banks: The PDU provides 18 receptacles—16 IEC 60320 C13 outlets and 2 IEC 60320 C19 outlets—split into two independent 9-outlet banks. This design helps balance load across circuits, reduces the risk of overloading a single bank, and facilitates better fault isolation for critical equipment groups.
• Blue IEC-309 32A input plug and 12 ft line cord: The attached line cord extends 12 feet (3.66 m) to reach distant power sources and the blue IEC-309 input plug provides a distinctive, easy-to-identify connection for 230V, 32A service, enhancing safety and reducing mis-wiring in busy data center environments.
• Two visual current meters for real-time monitoring: Stay informed with dual meters that display current draw, enabling proactive capacity planning, quick identification of load imbalances, and improved cooling and energy efficiency management within the rack enclosure.
• Rugged 2U rack-mount form factor with data-center compliant design: The horizontal, 2U footprint fits standard 19-inch racks, delivering a compact yet sturdy power distribution solution. The metered design supports energy management objectives while maintaining easy access for technicians during maintenance or reconfiguration.

how to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 7.4kW Single-Phase Local Metered PDU

• Prepare your rack space in a standard 19-inch rack enclosure, ensuring there is adequate clearance for ventilation and cable routing around the rear of the PDU.
• Mount the PDUMH32HV in a secure 2U slot, using the appropriate rack screws to fasten it firmly to the rack to prevent any wobble or movement during cable management or equipment installation.
• Connect the 12-foot line cord to a dedicated 230V, 32A power source. Ensure the receiving circuit can handle the load expected on the two banks and verify that the circuit protection matches your facility requirements.
• Route power cables from the two banks to your critical devices. Distribute high-demand equipment across the two banks to maintain balanced loading and reduce the risk of nuisance tripping on a single bank.
• Power up the rack and verify the two visual meters begin displaying current draw. Confirm that all connected devices are powered and that no outlets or bank protections are overloaded. Document a load profile for ongoing energy management and capacity planning.
