3-Phase Metered & Switched PDUs

3-phase switched and metered eco PDUs

When maintaining operating uptime in a data center or server room, sustainable energy efficiency can make all the difference. The implementation of effective power management often involves improvements at both the hardware and software level. As the trend for 3-phase power grows due to its efficiency to generate, transfer, and distribute electricity, ATEN is introducing its latest PG series of PDUs, available in IEC socket configuration, that are designed with zero-U rack housing to accommodate the increasing demand for power to high-density IT equipment in server rooms and data centers.

Each PG-series PDU, utilizing an ARM-Cortex A8 processor, is equipped with outlets capable of running at higher voltages, powers up all connected equipment in less than 10 seconds once plugged in, and delivers the most accurate kWh energy usage data (+/-1%) for better power consumption habits, baselines, and initiative tracking.

With energy saving in mind, PG-series is purposed to enable lower energy consumption for best practice in a network infrastructure, while promoting up to 70.65 kg (131.4 kw equivalent of power consumption) of reduced CO2 emission, reduced electricity expenses, and lower carbon taxes to pay each year.

With an ARM Cortex-A8 processor, PG-series delivers flexible control methods through its LAN / COM / USB / environment sensor ports as well as powers up all connected equipment in less than 10 seconds once plugged in. For cost-saving and space-efficient setup purposes, the PG PDUs can be cascaded to connect up to 64 PDU units. As a result, these PDUs accommodate the increasing demand for power to high-density IT devices in server rooms and data centers.

In terms of hardware design, these PDUs have built-in energy-saving relays, a subtype of electromagnetic switch, to help operators control large amounts of current flow, which results in lower energy consumption compared to non-relay models incapable of energy saving.

With five colors (yellow, red, purple, blue, and green) of LCD console panel stickers available for users to choose from, differentiating between power feed settings and speeding up troubleshooting are made easier. Plus, the LCD console panel is hot-swappable and can be removed, replaced, or repaired without powering down a mission-critical connected load.

Ideal for enterprise servers, network closets, and data centers, the PG series is an intelligent power distribution and management solution that supports high-density IT applications while minimizing the overall cost.
