Eaton PDUMH30-ISO – 2.9kW Metered PDU with Surge Protection

Product Overview

The Eaton PDUMH30-ISO is a 2.9kW single-phase local metered PDU with ISOBAR surge protection, rated for 120V and equipped with 12 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets split across two separately breakered load banks. Built for telecom, security, audio/video, and general rack-mount applications, it combines real-time local load metering with ISOBAR surge protection to guard connected equipment from power quality issues. This makes the PDUMH30-ISO a strong fit for network-grade IT environments and AV racks that need both dependable power distribution and surge protection in one unit.

Product Description

Rack equipment in telecom, security, and AV installations is often exposed to power quality issues that standard PDUs don't address, which is where the PDUMH30-ISO's built-in ISOBAR surge protection provides added value alongside its power distribution function. The unit features 12 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets arranged in two separately breakered load banks, each with its own 20A breaker, and a digital ammeter reports the load for each bank independently so technicians can balance loads across both circuits. Adding the two load-bank current readings together gives the total input current draw, which helps facilities staff monitor amperage and keep load levels well below maximum capacity to avoid costly downtime or equipment damage over time. As a local metered PDU, it provides real-time monitoring of load levels through its built-in digital current metering without requiring a network connection, which suits installations where a simple local readout is preferred over networked monitoring. A 15-foot (4.6-meter) cord with an L5-30P input plug connects to a facility's AC power source, generator, or protected UPS system to distribute power to connected loads. The combination of dual breakered load banks, local ammeter readout, and ISOBAR surge protection makes the PDUMH30-ISO well suited for telecom equipment racks, security system installations, and general portable or stationary rack-mount applications where equipment protection from power anomalies is a priority alongside straightforward power distribution.

Key Features

• ISOBAR Surge Protection — built-in surge protection helps guard connected telecom, security, and AV equipment from power quality issues.
• Two Separately Breakered Load Banks — each bank of six NEMA 5-15/20R outlets has its own 20A breaker, supporting load balancing across the PDU.
• Local Digital Load Metering — a digital ammeter reports load for each bank so technicians can monitor and balance current draw.
• 12 NEMA 5-15/20R Outlets — a widely compatible outlet type for standard rack, telecom, and AV equipment.
• 15-Foot Cord with L5-30P Input — connects to a facility AC power source, generator, or protected UPS system with ample reach.

Typical Applications

• Telecom equipment racks requiring surge protection and local metering
• Security system installations in network closets and server rooms
• Audio/video rack-mount applications in commercial meeting spaces and broadcast studios
• General portable or stationary rack-mount deployments in network-grade IT environments

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ISOBAR surge protection add to this PDU?

It provides built-in surge protection for connected equipment, helping guard telecom, security, and AV devices from power quality anomalies in addition to standard power distribution.

How do I read total load on this PDU?

The digital ammeter reports load for each of the two breakered banks separately; add both values together to determine total input current.

Is this PDU suitable for AV rack installations?

Yes, it is recommended for telecom, security, audio/video, and general portable and stationary rack-mount applications.

Does this PDU offer remote monitoring?

No, it provides local metering through its built-in digital ammeter rather than networked remote monitoring.

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 integrate this PDU into an AV rack build?

Yes, our team can help confirm outlet compatibility and surge protection requirements for your AV or telecom rack deployment.
