Eaton PDUMV20HV‑36 – 0U Vertical Metered PDU 208/230 V

Overview

The Eaton PDUMV20HV‑36 is a single‑phase metered power distribution unit (PDU) intended for IT power infrastructure in racks, network closets, and equipment enclosures. It is commonly deployed by data center engineers, facilities teams, and network architects who require consolidated distribution of 208/230 V AC to multiple loads with basic local current metering. The integrated digital meter provides localized load visibility to help prevent overload conditions without requiring network management interfaces.

This PDU supports up to 16 A continuous operation at 208 V or 230 V nominal input, with a total capacity ≈3.3 kW at 208 V and 3.7 kW at 230 V. Power is delivered through twenty IEC receptacles—16 C13 and 4 C19—fed from a NEMA L6‑20P input plug on a 10 ft (3.05 m) detachable cord. The unit’s switchless design avoids inadvertent shutdowns under load.

Physically, the PDUMV20HV‑36 occupies 0U vertical space alongside standard 19‑inch rack rails and includes mounting brackets for tool‑less installation in racks, under counters, or on equipment cabinet surfaces. Its aluminum housing balances mechanical strength with weight savings, suitable for densely populated rack environments.

Integration is limited to physical mounting and basic power monitoring: there is no network remote management, outlet metering per port, or switching control. It interoperates with standard UPS, generator, or facility mains power sources that provide single‑phase 208/230 V feeds via compatible receptacles. Ensure upstream circuit and branch protections align with the 16 A derated continuous rating.

A typical deployment for the PDUMV20HV‑36 is in small to medium data centers or technical closets feeding rack servers, storage, top‑of‑rack switches, and converged infrastructure where real‑time load awareness is required at the rack level to avoid overloading branch circuits. Its vertical form factor is practical in high‑density racks where horizontal space is limited. Conversely, it is not suited for environments requiring network‑accessible power management, outlet‑level switching, redundancy via dual A/B feeds, or where 120 V distribution is required.
