Measurement

Depending on the selected intelligence, our Power Distribution Units offer the capability to measure the values below. This can be done per phase, per branch group, or even individually per outlet. The PDUs are designed to deliver precise measurements and monitor crucial electrical values, providing you with complete control over your energy consumption. Here are some of the measurements that our PDUs can record:

Current (I): Measures the current in Amperes (A) through specific phases, branch groups, or individual outlets.

Power (P): Indicates the current power in Watts (W), essential for assessing load and system efficiency.

Voltage (U): Measures the electrical voltage in Volts (V) on specific phases, branch groups, or outlets.

Power Factor (Pf): Indicates how efficiently the system converts electrical energy into usable power, expressed as a percentage.

Total Energy (Et): Represents the total consumed energy over a certain period, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

Subtotal Energy (Es): Indicates the subtotal of consumed energy for specific phases, branch groups, or outlets, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

With these measurements, our PDUs provide detailed insights to monitor and optimize the performance of your power infrastructure.

In Summary

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.
