APC Modular 72 kW PDU

Experience unrivaled scalability and precision with the APC Modular 72 kW PDU, a forward‑looking power distribution solution crafted for modern data centers. This modular PDU is designed to adapt to your current load while enabling rapid expansion or reconfiguration as your infrastructure grows. Built to support high‑density racks and demanding workloads, it combines robust electrical protection with intelligent monitoring to maximize uptime, efficiency, and control over your facility’s power utilization.

• Modular scalability for future growth: The 72 kW modular architecture lets you start with a configuration that fits today’s needs and progressively add power modules, outlets, and monitoring capabilities as your data center expands, minimizing downtime and costly overhauls.
• Hard‑wired 5‑wire (3PH) input for reliable, enterprise‑grade power: Engineered for data centers, the APC Modular PDU supports a true 3‑phase, 5‑wire feed, delivering balanced distribution and robust performance under heavy load with consistent voltage, current, and fault protection.
• Real‑time energy metering and advanced monitoring: Gain visibility into voltage, current, power factor, total and per‑phase loads, and energy usage. Seamless integration with APC’s monitoring ecosystems ensures alerts, trends, and capacity planning are readily accessible through familiar dashboards.
• Hot‑swappable, modular power modules: Keep operations online during upgrades or reconfigurations. The modular design supports non‑disruptive substitutions and upgrades, reducing maintenance windows and increasing operational resilience.
• Comprehensive protection and optimized reliability: Built with rigorous protection features—overcurrent, short‑circuit protection, and fault isolation—paired with durable cable management and modular outlets to help maintain uptime in demanding environments.

How to install APC Modular 72 kW PDU

• Plan your rack layout, confirm the PDU weight, footprint, and mounting orientation to ensure it fits your cabinet and airflow strategy.
• Install the PDU in the rack frame, using appropriate rails and mounting hardware, ensuringSecure mounting with proper clearance for service access and cooling.
• Connect the input feed: run a compliant hard‑wire 3‑phase (5‑wire) supply from the building distribution to the PDU input, following electrical codes and your data center’s wiring practices.
• Attach modular power distribution components and outlets as needed, configuring per‑phase distribution, outlet grouping, and any remote sensing or metering modules according to your load plan.
• Power up and verify monitoring: configure the PDU’s metering, verify voltage and current readings, set alert thresholds, and perform a load balance check across phases to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
