The Tripp Lite by Eaton 7.7kW Single-Phase 200-240V Local Metered Automatic Transfer Switch PDU is engineered to deliver robust power redundancy, precise local metering, and effortless management for critical network devices. Built for data centers, server rooms, and edge deployments, this PDU combines reliable power distribution with intelligent transfer switch functionality to minimize downtime and safeguard equipment. Designed to simplify high-availability deployments, it ensures seamless switchover between redundant feeds while providing actionable energy data at the point of use. With a compact 2U footprint and a configuration that supports both high-density loads and mission-critical devices, this PDU is a dependable backbone for uptime-sensitive infrastructure.

• High-capacity single-phase power with built-in redundancy. The 7.7kW rating supports critical devices with steady, uninterrupted power. The unit operates on 200-240V single-phase input, enabling a straightforward connection to standard data center power rails. Its local automatic transfer switch (ATS) monitors input sources in real time, instantly transferring to the primary or standby feed to keep servers and network hardware online during utility disturbances or maintenance, helping you meet uptime objectives without manual intervention.
• Versatile input and output configuration for dense deployments. The PDU includes 2 IEC309 32A blue inputs to accommodate dual-power feeders and eliminate single points of failure. It also provides 16 C13 outlets and 2 C19 outlets, delivering flexible outlet options for a mix of servers, storage devices, UPS systems, and network gear. The 2U form factor keeps chassis space efficient while delivering robust power distribution for mid-range data centers and network closets.
• Precise local metering for actionable energy insights. Local metering allows on-site monitoring of voltage, current, and overall energy consumption directly at the branch level. This visibility helps IT staff track power usage patterns, optimize cooling, and plan capacity with confidence. The built-in metering capability eliminates the need for separate power meters for each rack, reducing complexity and enabling proactive capacity planning in fast-changing environments.
• Durable, rack-ready design for professional data center deployment. The unit’s rugged construction is built to withstand the rigors of rack-mount installations in data centers, server rooms, and telecom closets. With a 2U height and standardized mounting options, installation is straightforward, and cable management remains clean and organized—minimizing airflow disruption and facilitating routine maintenance.
• TL-rated for reliability and government procurement. As a trusted Tripp Lite by Eaton product, the PDU is designed for continuous operation in demanding environments. It is TAA compliant, appealing to government and other procurement programs that require strict sourcing standards, while offering the same robust performance expected from a leading power distribution solution.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 7.7kW Single-Phase 200-240V Local Metered Automatic Transfer Switch PDU

• Prepare the rack: Ensure the rack is clean, stable, and capable of supporting a 2U PDU. Confirm there is adequate clearance for cable management and cooling around the PDU installation site.
• Mount the PDU: Align the unit in the rack so that the 2 IEC309 inputs are accessible from the rear or side as appropriate for your data center layout. Secure the PDU using the included mounting hardware, ensuring a firm, vibration-free installation.
• Connect power feeders: Attach the two IEC309 32A blue input cables to the corresponding redundant power sources or feeders. Verify that each feeder is connected to a dedicated power source with appropriate protection (breakers, fuses) and that both feeds are live when testing a switchover scenario.
• Distribute loads: Plug critical devices into the 16 C13 outlets and the 2 C19 outlets. Plan outlet distribution to balance load across circuits and prevent overloading any single branch. Label circuits to simplify future maintenance and facility management.
• Configure metering and transfer switching: Power on the PDU and review the local metering readouts to confirm voltage and current display accuracy. If the unit offers configuration options, set the preferred transfer logic, alarms, and notification thresholds according to data-center policies and service-level agreements.
• Test the transfer switch: With equipment connected and feeders energized, simulate a loss of one feed to verify that the ATS correctly transfers load to the remaining source without disruption. Observe the status indicators on the PDU to confirm a successful switchover and document the results for your incident-response plans.
• Document and secure: Record all settings, labeling schemes, and test results. Ensure that all cables are neatly managed and that service accessibility remains unobstructed for future maintenance or replacement. Periodically re-test the transfer function as part of routine maintenance to preserve uptime.
