Eaton PDUMH20HVATS – 3.8kW ATS Metered PDU, 1U, TAA

Product Overview

The Eaton PDUMH20HVATS is a 3.8kW 200-240V single-phase ATS/local metered PDU with 8 C13 and 2 C19 outlets, built for facilities that require automatic transfer switching between two power sources without sacrificing local load visibility. Housed in a 1U rack-mount, TAA-compliant unit with dual C20 inlets and 12-ft. cords, it is designed for network IT applications, small computer rooms, and equipment racks that need continuous uptime protection against a single source failure. Dynamic solid-state ATS switches to a secondary source within milliseconds if the primary source fails or becomes unstable.

Product Description

Rack equipment that cannot tolerate a power interruption needs a PDU capable of switching between redundant sources automatically, and the PDUMH20HVATS is built for exactly this scenario. This single-phase 20A ATS PDU distributes and monitors network-grade power in real time through a built-in digital current meter, giving facilities managers local visibility into total load across its 8 C13 and 2 C19 200-240V outlets. Outlets are factory-programmed for sequential turn-on at 250-millisecond intervals when the PDU is first energized, which helps prevent inrush-related equipment interaction at startup. Dual 12-foot (3.7-meter) power cables with C20 inputs connect to separate primary and secondary mains circuits, backup generators, UPS systems, or utility power grids, including sources that are out of phase with one another. The onboard ATS processor constantly evaluates the power quality of both input sources and switches to the secondary source within 2-5 milliseconds if the primary becomes unstable or fails, while also preventing a switch to a lower-quality or unavailable secondary source. A digital ammeter reports total load for all connected equipment, helping data center and IT staff maintain load levels well below maximum capacity and avoid costly downtime or equipment damage. The all-metal 1U housing mounts into a standard 19-inch rack using included hardware, and the unit's TAA compliance makes it eligible for GSA Schedule and other federal procurement contracts, an important consideration for government and education customers sourcing rack power equipment through federal contract vehicles.

Key Features

• Automatic Transfer Switching (ATS) — switches to a secondary power source within 2-5 milliseconds if the primary source fails or becomes unstable, keeping connected equipment running.
• Dual C20 Inputs with 12-ft. Cords — connects to two separate mains circuits, generators, or UPS systems, including out-of-phase sources.
• Local Digital Load Metering — a built-in ammeter reports total connected load in real time to help prevent overloads.
• Sequential Outlet Turn-On — factory-programmed 250-millisecond outlet staging prevents inrush-related interaction at startup.
• 8 C13 and 2 C19 Outlets — supports a mix of standard and higher-draw 200-240V rack equipment.
• TAA-Compliant, 1U Rack-Mount — eligible for GSA Schedule and federal procurement, housed in an all-metal 1U enclosure.

Typical Applications

• Government space and federal facility racks requiring TAA-compliant equipment
• Data center and server room racks needing dual-source redundancy
• Network closets supporting critical IT equipment that cannot tolerate downtime
• Colocation facility cabinets with dual utility or generator feeds

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast does the ATS switch between power sources?

The onboard ATS processor switches from the primary to the secondary source within 2-5 milliseconds if the primary source fails or becomes unstable.

Can this PDU accept two out-of-phase power sources?

Yes, the dual C20 inputs are designed to connect to separate primary and secondary sources, including sources that are out of phase with one another.

Is this PDU eligible for government procurement?

Yes, the PDUMH20HVATS is TAA-compliant, making it eligible for GSA Schedule and other federal procurement contracts.

Does the PDU provide remote monitoring capability?

The PDUMH20HVATS provides local metering through its built-in digital ammeter; it is described as a local metered PDU rather than a networked/remote-monitored unit.

What is the warranty on this product?

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 with TAA/GSA procurement documentation?

Yes, our team can assist government and education customers with procurement questions related to TAA-compliant Eaton products.
