Apc Netshelter Rack Pdu Advanced Switched 17 3Kw 3 Phase 208V 60A 460P9 42 Outlets

The APC NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced Switched 17 3Kw 3 Phase 208V 60A 460P9 42 Outlets is a high-density, mission-critical power distribution unit designed to keep racks populated with servers, storage, and networking equipment running reliably. Engineered for data centers and IT closets, this 42-outlet PDU provides granular, outlet-level visibility, precise control, and proactive power management. By combining switched outlets, real-time metering, and a compact rack-mount form factor, it enables IT teams to optimize uptime, streamline reboots, and tighten energy-related costs without compromising safety or performance. With seamless integration into APC NetShelter enclosures, it helps standardize power distribution across racks, reduces cable clutter, and supports efficient airflow for cooler, more efficient data center operations.

• Outlet-level visibility with built-in metering and a local display: monitor voltage, current, and energy consumption per outlet in real time to identify rogue power draws and forecast load before it impacts uptime.
• Switched outlets for intelligent reboot and maintenance: remotely power-cycle individual devices without entering the data center, speeding firmware updates, troubleshooting, and routine reboots while reducing mean time to repair (MTTR).
• Three-phase 208V input at 60A with a 3 kW maximum load: designed to support dense, power-hungry IT gear in modern racks, delivering reliable distribution for blade servers, storage arrays, and high-performance switches.
• Rugged NetShelter integration: purpose-built to fit neatly inside APC NetShelter enclosures, promoting clean cabling, optimized airflow, and consistent power distribution across multiple racks for scalable data-center deployments.
• Safety, reliability, and proactive maintenance: overload protection with alerting helps prevent overheating and unexpected shutdowns, while precise metering and local alerts enable proactive capacity planning and preventive maintenance.

How to install APC NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced Switched 17 3Kw 3 Phase 208V 60A 460P9 42 Outlets

• Prepare the rack and enclosure: Confirm that your APC NetShelter enclosure has the proper mounting rails and clearance for a 17-inch deep PDU. Verify that the enclosure’s electrical system and circuit protection are suitable for a 60A, 208V three-phase input.
• Mount the PDU: Using the included rack-mount hardware, slide the PDU into the rack and secure it firmly to the front or rear rails as appropriate for your enclosure. Ensure that there is adequate space for cable management and airflow around the unit.
• Connect input power: Attach the PDU’s input connector to a dedicated three-phase 208V power source rated for 60A. Follow your facility’s electrical standards and ensure proper grounding and protective devices are in place before energizing the circuit.
• Route and connect devices: Plug servers, switches, storage controllers, and other equipment into the 42 outlets. Use the individual outlet switching to plan remote reboot workflows and to isolate components for maintenance without affecting other devices on the rack.
• Configure metering and alerts: Power up the PDU and use the local display to verify real-time readings. Set alert thresholds for overload conditions and configure any available monitoring software to receive notifications when power events occur.
• Integrate with management tools: If you have centralized monitoring or data-center infrastructure management (DCIM) software, register the PDU for network-based visibility and remote control. Map devices to outlets for precise control and faster remediation.
• Perform a validation check: Test a subset of outlets to confirm switched control, verify energy readings, and confirm that overload protection triggers appropriately when a device draws near the limit. Validate the cooling airflow is not impeded by cabling.
• Document and standardize: Record all configuration details, outlet mappings, and management settings to support consistent deployments across multiple racks and to streamline future maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

• What does “Advanced Switched” mean in this PDU? It indicates that each outlet can be individually controlled remotely, enabling targeted reboots and maintenance without physical access to the rack.
• Can I monitor energy usage per outlet? Yes. The PDU provides outlet-level metering so you can track voltage, current, and energy consumption for each device plugged into the 42 outlets.
• What voltage and phase does this PDU support? The unit is designed for 208V, three-phase input on a 60A circuit, suitable for modern data-center and edge deployments that rely on dense, high-performance equipment.
• Is this compatible with APC NetShelter enclosures? Absolutely. It is purpose-built to integrate with NetShelter racks, helping with cable management, airflow, and standardized power distribution.
• What safety features are included? The PDU includes overload protection and alerting to warn when current exceeds the design limit, reducing the risk of overheating and unexpected shutdowns while enabling proactive maintenance.
