The RPDU is designed to provide power to a row of racks (up
to 14 racks). The input power connection consists of one input
circuit. The output distribution circuits are plug and play
receptacles located on the back panel. The user will save time
and reduce cost by eliminating running conduit and receptacles
to each individual rack. The internal load distribution breakers
correspond to receptacles mounted on the back panel. In addition,
the RPDU has many extra circuits as spares for external use.
(Such as in conventional PDUs)
Example
for RPDU cost savings:
This example
shows MTTI’s variable estimate of power distribution
cost savings to 32 - 48 racks in an average raised floor computer
room.

MTTI’s average variable estimates of general electrical
wiring and products. Prices may vary per project, supplier,
site location or equipment brand.
