PDU Installation Options
A Power Distribution Unit is a
versatile component in your
power infrastructure, and with
Tripp Lite, there are multiple
installation options to fit the needs
of a wide range of applications.
Here are a few examples that meet specific rack design goals—
find the one that suits your application!
Applicable PDUs: All models1. The PDU plugs into an outlet on
the UPS system.
2. The PDU increases the total number of outlets powered by the UPS system.
Add More Outlets to a UPS System

PDU
Applicable PDUs: Models with high-amperage plug or inlet
1. The PDU plugs into a high-amperage outlet on the UPS system.
2. The PDU spreads the high-amperage input among the multiple low-amperage outlets, allowing the UPS system to power multiple devices from a single outlet.
Convert a Single High-Amperage Outlet to Multiple Low-Amperage Outlets

PDU
Applicable PDUs:All models1. The PDU plugs into a wall outlet
supported by facility UPS or generator power.
2. The PDU distributes power to equipment via multiple outlets.
Distribute Facility UPS Generator Power to Multiple Outlets
PDU
Applicable PDUs:Dual circuit models
1. Each PDU input cord plugs into an independent UPS, utility or generator power source.
2. The PDU distributes power to equipment with redundant power supplies, providing an independent power source for each power supply. (The PDU also works with equipment that does not have redundant power supplies.)
Provide Independent Power Sources for Devices with Redundant Power Supplies

Redundant Power Supply Load
Applicable PDUs: All auto-transfer switch models
1. The primary input plugs into the primary UPS system, which must be an on-line UPS system.
2. The secondary input plugs into the secondary UPS system. Ideally, the UPS systems should be connected to separate circuits.
3. The PDU monitors voltage and frequency, automatically switching to the secondary input if the primary input deviates from the designated operating range (99-138V / 45-65 Hz).

Applicable PDUs:All hot-swap models1. The primary input plugs into an
on-line UPS system.
2. The secondary input plugs into a wall outlet.
3. If the UPS system is taken offline for maintenance, repair or replacement, the PDU keeps the load powered by automatically switching from the primary input to the secondary input. When the UPS system is restored, the PDU will switch back to the primary input.

Applicable PDUs:All switched models1. The PDU’s network interface
connects to an Ethernet jack.
2. Remote users can switch each of the PDU’s outlets on or off via SNMP, Web or telnet. Benefits include rebooting locked devices to avoid costly service calls and turning off nonessential loads during blackouts to extend battery backup runtime for critical equipment.
