5.5kW Single-Phase Local Metered PDU, 208/230V Outlets (16 C13 & 2 C19),

5.5kW Single-Phase Local Metered PDU, 208/230V Outlets (16 C13 & 2 C19)

The PDUMH30HV is built for rack environments that need dependable 208/230V power distribution with immediate, at-the-unit load visibility. Designed as a single-phase local metered PDU, it provides a practical way to organize power inside the rack while helping installers and operators monitor usage during setup, expansion, and ongoing service. With a 5.5kW capacity and a versatile outlet mix of 16 C13 and 2 C19 receptacles, it supports cabinets that power a range of connected equipment rather than a single device type.

Ideal Use Cases

This model is a strong fit for installations where clean rack power distribution and local monitoring matter day to day. It works especially well in environments where teams need to check load directly at the PDU without relying only on upstream electrical infrastructure.

• AV equipment racks with mixed connected devices
• IT and network cabinets that require organized 208/230V outlet distribution
• Telecom and edge deployments where rack-level power visibility simplifies service
• Small server rooms and distributed infrastructure cabinets
• Installations that may expand over time and benefit from quick on-site load checks

Because it combines 16 C13 outlets with 2 C19 outlets, the PDUMH30HV is well suited to racks that include standard IT or AV electronics alongside higher-draw components that require C19 connectivity.

Why Choose This Model

The value of the PDUMH30HV comes from its balance of capacity, outlet flexibility, and straightforward monitoring. A 5.5kW single-phase design gives buyers a solid power distribution option for cabinets that need more than basic outlet access. The local metering feature adds practical visibility right where the equipment is installed, which can help during initial commissioning and later when equipment is added, moved, or serviced.

• 5.5kW power capacity for demanding rack applications
• 208/230V distribution for compatible rack equipment
• Local metering for direct, on-site load awareness
• 16 C13 and 2 C19 outlets for mixed-device support
• Suitable for AV, IT, telecom, and edge environments

For buyers managing cabinets with varied equipment requirements, this outlet configuration can reduce the compromises that come with more limited PDU layouts.

Installation and Integration

In real-world deployments, the PDUMH30HV is best used as a centralized rack power point that simplifies cable routing and supports more deliberate equipment placement. During installation, local metering helps confirm load conditions at the rack itself, making it easier to validate capacity as devices are connected. This can be particularly useful in projects where racks evolve over time or where multiple teams may service the same enclosure.

The mix of C13 and C19 outlets supports integration into cabinets with different equipment classes. Standard rack electronics can be assigned to the C13 outlets, while compatible higher-draw devices can use the C19 connections. This makes the unit easier to integrate into mixed-use racks without forcing all connected equipment into the same outlet type.

For expansion planning, the ability to view load locally can help technicians make faster decisions during adds, moves, and changes. That practical visibility is often valuable in edge, telecom, and distributed AV/IT environments where quick rack-side confirmation is preferred.

Performance Highlights

The PDUMH30HV is designed to deliver organized, rack-level power distribution with a focus on usability in operational environments. Its single-phase architecture and 208/230V output align with installations that need higher-voltage rack distribution, while the 5.5kW rating provides the capacity needed for a broader range of connected equipment.

• Single-phase rack PDU design
• 5.5kW capacity
• 208/230V outlet distribution
• 16 C13 outlets
• 2 C19 outlets
• Local metering for direct load monitoring at the unit

These core facts make it a practical choice for teams focused on orderly power delivery, serviceability, and better awareness of rack load conditions during everyday operation.

What Makes It Different

What sets this model apart is not complexity, but relevance to real rack deployments. The PDUMH30HV combines local metering with a useful outlet mix, making it especially appealing for cabinets that support multiple equipment types. Instead of offering only basic distribution, it gives users direct visibility at the rack and the flexibility to accommodate both C13- and C19-connected devices in one unit.

That combination is particularly helpful in managed AV, IT, telecom, and edge applications, where equipment changes are common and rack power needs are rarely uniform. Buyers who want a practical, service-friendly PDU with 208/230V support and a 5.5kW rating will find this model aligned with those needs.

Final Assessment

If you need a single-phase local metered PDU for a rack or cabinet that supports mixed equipment loads, the PDUMH30HV offers a strong functional fit. Its 5.5kW capacity, 208/230V distribution, 16 C13 outlets, and 2 C19 outlets make it well suited for organized power delivery across AV, IT, telecom, and edge installations. For buyers who value direct rack-side load visibility and flexible outlet coverage, this model is a practical and professional choice.
