Safety performance of Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
1. Electrical safety
Overload protection: Power Distribution Unit (PDU) has an overload protection function. When the load current exceeds the rated value, it can automatically cut off the power supply to prevent the equipment from being damaged or causing safety accidents such as fire due to overload.
Short circuit protection: The Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is equipped with a short circuit protection mechanism. Once a short circuit is detected, the power supply will be quickly cut off to protect the safety of the equipment and system.
2. Physical safety
Anti-static: The metal shell also has an anti-static function, which can effectively protect sensitive electronic equipment from static electricity hazards and ensure the stable operation of the equipment.
Durability: The service life of the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is usually longer than that of ordinary sockets
3. Customization
Modular design: With modular design, different module combinations can be selected according to actual needs, such as lightning protection module, overload protection module, current and voltage metering module, etc., to achieve highly customized power distribution solutions.
Easy installation: Power Distribution Unit (PDU) products support multi-angle installation and flexible configuration to meet the installation needs in different scenarios. At the same time, its standardized design and simple installation method also reduce the installation cost and difficulty.
