Eaton PDU3MV6L2120LV – 3-Phase Metered PDU, 42-Out

Product Overview

The Eaton PDU3MV6L2120LV is a 3-phase metered PDU delivering 5.7kW at 120V through 42 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets and an L21-20P input, built for racks needing real-time current visibility across all three phases. This 0U rackmount unit uses three built-in digital meters to report current levels per phase, helping data center and server room teams keep phase loading balanced as equipment is added. Its rugged all-metal housing and included mounting accessories make it straightforward to install in EIA-standard racks.

Product Description

Balancing load across three phases is a common challenge in higher-density racks, and doing it without visibility into each phase's actual current draw invites both circuit overloads and inefficient power use. The PDU3MV6L2120LV solves this with a set of three built-in digital meters, one per phase, providing real-time local reporting of current levels in amps. This lets facilities and IT staff visually confirm that loads remain properly balanced across all three phases and preserve proper loading balance as additional equipment is connected over time. With 42 total NEMA 5-15/20R outlets at 120V and 5.7kW of total capacity, this 3-phase metered PDU offers substantial outlet density for large racks running mixed IT equipment. The L21-20P input plug connects the unit to a compatible 3-phase circuit, distributing reliable rackmount power from any protected UPS, generator, or mains input power source to the connected loads. Construction includes a rugged all-metal housing designed for long-term reliability in commercial IT environments, and the unit installs using included mounting accessories for secure rackmount placement. Because metering is local rather than network-based, the PDU3MV6L2120LV suits data center and server room deployments where on-site, per-phase visual load monitoring is the priority rather than remote network management.
