Eaton PDU3MV6L2130 – 8.6kW 3-Phase Metered PDU

Product Overview

The Eaton PDU3MV6L2130 is an 8.6kW 3-phase local metered PDU built to distribute high-density power across data center and server room racks running 208/120V equipment. Three built-in digital meters give facilities staff real-time visibility into current levels on each phase, helping preserve proper load balance and prevent circuit overloads as additional equipment is added. Rugged all-metal construction and secure rack-mount installation make this 3-phase metered PDU a dependable choice for high-capacity data center and colocation rack power distribution.

Product Description

This 3-phase metered PDU distributes power from any protected UPS, generator, or mains input source to rack-mounted servers, switches, and other 208/120V equipment across a data center or server room. A set of three built-in digital meters reports real-time current levels in amps for each phase, giving IT and facilities managers the visibility needed to preserve proper load balance across all three phases and prevent circuit overloads as additional equipment is connected over time. This kind of per-phase monitoring is particularly valuable in 3-phase deployments, where an imbalanced load across phases can lead to inefficient power usage or unexpected circuit trips even when total capacity appears adequate. The PDU's rugged all-metal housing is built for the mechanical demands of continuous rack service, and it installs securely using the included rack-mount hardware. With an 8.6kW capacity at 208/120V, this PDU suits data center racks, colocation cabinets, and server rooms that need reliable, higher-capacity 3-phase power distribution with local load visibility, without requiring a separate network management card for basic overload monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this PDU have three separate meters instead of one?

Each of the three meters reports current for one phase, letting facilities staff monitor and balance load across all three phases independently rather than relying on a single combined reading.

What voltage does this PDU distribute?

It distributes 208/120V 3-phase power to connected rack equipment.

Does this PDU include network monitoring?

This model provides local metering via its three built-in digital meters; it does not include a network management card for remote SNMP or web-based monitoring.

Why does phase balance matter in a 3-phase PDU?

An imbalanced load across phases can lead to inefficient power usage or an unexpected circuit trip on one phase even when total PDU capacity appears sufficient, so monitoring each phase individually helps avoid this.

What power sources can feed this PDU?

It can be fed from any protected UPS, generator, or mains input power source rated for its 3-phase 208/120V, 8.6kW capacity.

What warranty applies to the PDU3MV6L2130?

Eaton backs this unit with its standard manufacturer warranty; contact Creation Networks for the current term and any extended coverage options.

Can Creation Networks help verify this PDU matches our facility's 3-phase circuit?
