Eaton PDU3MV6L2120B – 5.7kW 3-Phase Metered PDU

Product Overview

The Eaton PDU3MV6L2120B is a 5.7kW 3-phase local metered PDU built for high-density data center racks that need real-time visibility into current draw across each phase. With 208/120V outlets and a built-in set of three digital ammeters, this rack PDU lets facility staff monitor phase balance and prevent circuit overloads as additional servers and network equipment are added to a cabinet. Its L21-20P input and mix of NEMA 5-15/20R and L6-20R outlets make it a versatile fit for mixed equipment loads.

Product Description

Three-phase power distribution is common in higher-density data center racks because it delivers more usable capacity per circuit, but it also makes phase balance harder to track by eye, which is why the PDU3MV6L2120B includes three built-in digital meters for real-time local reporting of current levels in amps. Facility and IT staff can use these meters to visually monitor each phase and preserve proper load balance as new equipment is racked, helping prevent nuisance breaker trips and unplanned downtime. The unit accepts an L21-20P input plug with a 6-ft. cord and distributes 208/120V power across 21 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets and 6 L6-20R outlets, covering both standard IT equipment cords and higher-current locking connections in the same cabinet. Built with a rugged all-metal housing and included mounting accessories, the PDU is designed for secure rackmount installation from any protected UPS, generator, or mains input source. This metered PDU is well suited to data centers, colocation cages, and server rooms running dense, mixed-load server and networking racks that require ongoing current monitoring.
