Eaton EMA374-10 – 3-Phase Managed PDU, 48 Outlets

Product Overview

The Eaton EMA374-10 is a high-density 3-phase managed PDU built for data center and colocation cabinet environments that need to power large numbers of servers from a single vertical unit. With 48 C13 receptacles and a 17.3 kW maximum output, it is engineered for full racks of blade servers, top-of-rack switches, and dense compute clusters rather than lighter network closet loads. As a 0U vertical PDU for server racks, it mounts in the rear channel without consuming usable rack units, and its managed feature set gives facilities teams outlet-level visibility into a high-density power distribution deployment. This model suits integrators standardizing on three-phase power distribution across large data center footprints.

Product Description

The EMA374-10 is part of Eaton's ePDU G3 managed platform, engineered for commercial and enterprise data centers where rack density and power visibility are primary design constraints. Input arrives through a three-phase, 240/415V, 32A pin-and-sleeve connector, distributing power across 48 IEC C13 outlets organized into color-coded phase groups to simplify load balancing during installation. The unit is rated for 17.3 kW maximum output, giving integrators substantial headroom for high-density server racks and blade enclosures that would otherwise require multiple lower-capacity PDUs. Its 0U vertical mounting profile runs the length of the rack's rear rail, so it does not displace any of the usable rack units needed for compute, storage, or network equipment. Management is handled through both an Ethernet network interface and an RS-232 serial connection, supporting remote monitoring, outlet-level switching, and mass configuration so that firmware and alert settings can be pushed across multiple units from a central console. This is a meaningful advantage for colocation providers and enterprise IT teams managing dozens of racks, since configuration does not need to be repeated PDU by PDU. At roughly 72 inches of mounting length and 18.7 lb, the EMA374-10 is designed for full-height 42U-and-larger enclosures rather than compact or wall-mount cabinets. The color-coded outlet banding also helps electricians and installers verify phase balance is correct during commissioning, reducing the risk of an unbalanced three-phase circuit. Facilities managers deploying new data center capacity or refreshing colocation cabinet infrastructure can use the EMA374-10 to consolidate power distribution for high-outlet-count racks into a single managed unit.

Key Features

• 48-Outlet Capacity — Powers a fully populated high-density rack from a single vertical PDU instead of stacking multiple units.
• 17.3 kW Three-Phase Output — Supports blade server chassis and dense compute clusters that exceed the capacity of standard single-phase PDUs.
• Ethernet and RS-232 Management — Enables both network-based and serial monitoring for flexible integration with existing IT infrastructure.
• Mass Configuration Support — Lets administrators apply settings across multiple PDUs at once, reducing setup time in multi-rack colocation deployments.
• Color-Coded Phase Outlets — Helps installers verify balanced three-phase loading during commissioning.
• 0U Vertical Form Factor — Frees every rack unit in the enclosure for compute, storage, and network equipment.
• UL Listed Construction — Meets safety standards expected in commercial data center and colocation facilities.

Typical Applications

• Data center
• Colocation cabinet
• Government space

Frequently Asked Questions

What size rack does the EMA374-10 require?

Its roughly 72-inch mounting length is designed for full-height enclosures (42U and larger). Confirm your cabinet's rear rail clearance before ordering.

Is a licensed electrician required to install this PDU?

Yes. The EMA374-10 requires a 240/415V three-phase, 32A circuit and a pin-and-sleeve receptacle, which should be installed and verified by a licensed electrician.

Can multiple EMA374-10 units be managed from one console?

Yes. The unit supports mass configuration over its network interface, allowing administrators to push settings and firmware updates to multiple PDUs from a central management console.

Does the EMA374-10 integrate with DCIM or building management software?

Its Ethernet and serial monitoring interfaces are designed to integrate with common DCIM and facilities monitoring platforms used in enterprise data centers and colocation facilities.

What is the warranty on the EMA374-10?

Specific warranty terms for this SKU were not published in available manufacturer documentation. Eaton's managed PDU line typically carries a 3-year limited warranty; contact Eaton or Creation Networks to confirm terms before purchase.

Can Creation Networks help verify electrical compatibility before I order?

Yes. Creation Networks can review your facility's available three-phase circuit and rack configuration to confirm the EMA374-10 is the right fit before you place an order.

How does phase load balancing work on this PDU?

Outlets are grouped and color-coded by phase, which helps installers distribute connected equipment evenly across all three phases during commissioning.
