The measurements on your PDU provide insight into energy flows and enable you to manage them. You can read measurements locally or remotely via the databus. Schleifenbauer has made its bus redundant. A single cable interruption will not affect the readings or control of the PDUs; it will attempt to access via the alternative route on the ring.

With branch measurement, the consumption per group within the PDU is measured. This is crucial when redundancy is a requirement. Redundancy ensures that if one PDU fails, a second PDU takes over the load and prevents power outage.
Branch measurement enables precise distribution of the load, minimizing the risk of downtime. In case of any failure, an alert is immediately generated on the PDU display, via the Schleifenbauer Web interface, and through SNMP in your DCIM dashboard.
Redundant power distribution in 32A PDUs can only be guaranteed by measuring at the branch level. This is clearly illustrated in the following example:
Illustration: Two 32 ampere PDUs may appear redundant at the phase level (input), but at the branch level, it becomes clear that unequal loading can lead to overload in the event of a PDU failure. Measuring at the branch level identifies this issue and prevents unwanted power outages.
In summary, by measuring your PDUs at the branch level, you opt for intelligence and minimize the risk of downtime, thereby optimizing the reliability of your power supply.

Near Zero Voltage Switching in your Data Centre
Inrush currents in data centers can be unexpectedly high, but Near Zero Voltage Switching (N-ZVS) can significantly mitigate them. The white paper “N-ZVS: Near Zero Voltage Switching in Data Centers” provides insights into N-ZVS, including its benefits such as reducing inrush currents, improving Power Quality, reducing network pollution, and enhancing EMC behavior. Schleifenbauer supports the implementation of this energy-saving technology to optimize data centers.
