Power Distribution Units
RSP Supply carries a comprehensive selection of Ericson Power Distribution Units (PDUs) designed to safely and efficiently distribute electrical power to multiple end-use devices. PDUs are a critical component in modern electrical systems, particularly in data centers, industrial facilities, and temporary power applications where reliable power delivery and load management are essential.
Ericson PDUs are available in both basic and metered or intelligent configurations. Basic PDUs provide straightforward power pass-through and are well suited for environments with stable input power and consistent load demands. Metered and intelligent PDUs add advanced functionality such as power consumption monitoring, load balancing, and remote visibility, helping facility managers reduce the risk of overloads and unplanned downtime.
Many installations pair PDUs with uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to maintain consistent power during outages or voltage fluctuations. Advanced Ericson PDUs may also support switched outlet control and environmental monitoring, allowing administrators to manage power usage, reboot connected equipment, and monitor conditions such as temperature or humidity within racks or enclosures.
FAQs
Q: What is a power distribution unit (PDU)?
A power distribution unit is a device that distributes electrical power from a single source to multiple pieces of equipment, commonly used in data centers, industrial facilities, and control systems.
Q: What is the difference between a basic PDU and a metered or intelligent PDU?
A basic PDU provides simple power distribution with no monitoring capabilities. Metered or intelligent PDUs provide additional features such as power usage monitoring, load balancing, and remote outlet control.
Q: Are PDUs commonly used with uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)?
Yes, PDUs are often deployed alongside UPS systems to distribute conditioned backup power to connected devices during outages or power fluctuations.
Q: Can intelligent PDUs support remote management?
Yes, intelligent and switched PDUs allow remote monitoring of power consumption and, in some cases, remote control of individual outlets or outlet groups.
Q: What environments are Ericson PDUs designed for?
Ericson PDUs are designed for demanding environments, including data centers, industrial facilities, temporary power setups, and other applications requiring reliable and controlled power distribution.
