Power Distribution Unit (PDU)

A PDU or Power Distribution Unit is a power supply or distribution device that bridges a single electrical source to multiple devices or equipment. These devices are mainly used in data centers or UPS system infrastructures for reliable power distribution to the required equipment.      

These devices come with surge protection and voltage regulation, ensuring no damage to the connected devices. Thus, they are a reliable and critically essential component in every infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions

1. What does a PDU do?

A PDU supplies a reliable and voltage-regulated power supply to various devices that are connected to the power source. These PDUs are essential at every office or infrastructure with two or more equipment with important data points. 

2. What is the difference between single- and three-phase PDUs? 

While the single-phase PDU accepts a limited load with a single live wire and a neutral wire, the three-phase PDU accepts huge loads with three live wires and a neutral wire. So, the former is more useful in small offices or infrastructures with lower input power, and the latter is suitable for industrial and commercial spaces.

3. What is a rack PDU?

As the name implies, these PDUs supply electrical power to various devices within the racks and ensure a seamless, centralized power distribution with power cables neatly organized. These rack-mount PDUs can be basic, metered, monitored, or hot-swapped with optional intelligence components.   

4. What are the leading PDU brands in Australia?

Eaton, Vertiv, Tripp Lite Australia, APC, and RackLink are the leading brands that supply advanced PDU units and solutions tailored to the needs of Australian data centers and IT infrastructures. 

5. How to install PDU in rack?

There are two types of rack PDU installation. One is the tool-less installation that involves connecting only the cable channels. The other is the mounting installation, which involves mounting rails. 

6. What are the PDU requirements in Australia?

The power distribution units require 220 to 240V AC and IEC C13 and C19 outlets to connect various power cords.  The frequency is 50Hz.

7. What is a switched PDU?

Switched PDUs are the power distribution units that allow remote switching on and off of the device. Also, they help switch between individual and group PDU outlets. This type of power cycling is useful when there is an outage in the UPS or a blocker in the networking systems.
