Basic and Metered Input
2EATON Eaton ePDU G3
Eatons third-generation technology for
power distribution
The new Eaton® ePDU® G3 platform provides best-in-class power distribution, enabling data center and information technology (IT)
managers to effectively monitor and manage their rack environments. Featuring Eaton’s third-generation (G3) ePDU technology,
ePDU G3 is easy to install and reduces operating costs while increasing reliability. With a host of unique and state-of-the-art features
for both Basic and Metered Input ePDUs, ePDU G3 sets the standard for power management in a wide range of key applications.
Key applications
Designed for IT environments, ePDU G3 is available in a variety
of plug and outlet configurations, including both 120 and 200-
240 volt configurations. Power distribution is needed in racks to
properly connect servers, switches and other IT equipment.
Small / medium business
120V and lower kVA options
Economical Basic or Metered Input
Local pixel LCD display for onsite management
Enterprise data centers
208V three phase up to 17 kW for high density
Network monitoring of power usage and capacity
Variety of outlet configurations
Outlet grip plug retention
Eaton’s new patented IEC outlet grip secures plugs in place
with a lever actuated grip that’s integrated into each outlet.
Once the levers click into the grip position, the plugs are secured
from accidental disconnect due to bumps or vibrations. Unlike
competitor solutions, the new outlet grip eliminates the need
for special power cords that can increase purchase prices by
$200 to $300.

Billing grade accuracy
ePDU G3 provides one percent revenue-grade
power monitoring for higher accuracy in department
billing or collocation data centers. You are able to
effectively measure power usage to all outlets
and identify open capacity, resulting in full-power utilization.
Utility rebate programs also require measurements that meet
revenue-grade standards.

Hot-swap eNMC module
Eaton’s new hot-swap eNMC (ePDU Network Management
and Control) module can be replaced without the need to
power down your rack. As a result, you not only increase
uptime, but also enhance serviceability and potentially save
$200 to $500 on an unnecessary service call.
Advanced LCD pixel display
The new ePDU G3 LCD pixel display simplifies local setup and
trouble shooting. It also allows you to view voltage, power,
total input, meters, LCD orientation and alarm history. In
addition, the menu-driven display changes from blue to amber
during an alarm situation, visually alerting you of a problem.

Color-coded outlet sections
Each color-coded outlet section matches a corresponding
circuit breaker in the new ePDU G3 models. This coding
allows you to easily identify which circuit breaker feeds
which outlets, and prevents unbalanced loading that could
trip a breaker.

ePDUs has been optimized
for side mounting, resulting
in zero interference into
the rail space so you don’t
block hot-swap fans or
power supplies. Some
models feature low-profile
circuit breakers to reduce
interference when the ePDU
is mounted with outlets
facing the rail (center of
the rack).

High operating
temperature
All ePDU G3 models are fully
functional in high operating
temperature environments
up to 140°F (60°C), resulting
in reduced cooling costs. A
higher operating temperature
is needed for most modern
hot-air containment solutions.
Since ePDUs are located in
the back of the rack where
server exhaust can elevate
temperatures to as high
as 116°F, based on ASHRAE’s
80.6°F maximum inlet
temperature guidelines,
it’s important to have the
right solution.

Daisy chain four units from one IP address
Eaton’s new patented daisy chain is available on all network-connected ePDU G3 models. This feature allows four ePDUs to share
the same network connection and IP address, resulting in a 75 percent reduction in network infrastructure costs, compared to
competitor rack PDUs that require a dedicated IP address.
Demonstrated cost difference based on two ePDUs per rack:

Light-weight aluminum chassis
Offers a 30 percent lighter-than-steel chassis, making each unit easier to install
Lower shipping costs compared to competitive models made from steel
Dissipates heat for better performance in high-density environments
Offers better electrical conductivity for improved electrical grounding
Network management
The advanced network capabilities of the ePDU G3 platform
allow you to monitor multiple ePDUs through Eaton’s power
monitoring solutions. In addition, ePDU G3 has built-in support
for third-party data center infrastructure management (DCIM)
solutions by using SNMP v3 to communicate securely to
each ePDU.
Environmental monitoring
The optional environmental monitoring probe connects to the
serial port and enables you to collect temperature and humidity
readings in the rack environment to monitor environmental
data remotely. You can also monitor the status of two contact
closure devices, such as door switches.
Light-weight aluminum
chassis can be easily held
with one hand.
