IntroductionEaton ePDU G3 Operation Manual P-164000277—Rev 5 2The ePDU G3 family provides six different ePDU topologies. The monitoring or switching capabilities arecharacterized as follows:l Basic (BA) with no monitoring or intelligent controlsl In-Line Metered (IL) with monitoring at the inputl Metered Input (MI) with monitoring at the input and branchl Metered Outlet (MO) with monitoring at the input, branch, and individual outlet monitoring, but no outletcontroll Switched (SW) with control of outlets but no individual outlet monitoringl Managed (MA) with monitoring at the input, branch, and individual outlet control and monitoringTable 1 shows which main features are implemented or not implemented, depending on the topology:Product SpecificationsFind product specifications, diagrams, part number and ordering matrix documents, and marketing collateral atwww.eaton.com/ePDU.Eaton ePDU ModelsThe Eaton ePDU models support world-wide markets. These model types are defined primarily by the systemmanagement and monitoring capabilities, but the capabilities are also defined by the hardware configurations.The ePDU models support single-phase applications (or three-phase for Americas models) and can manage 6to 42 outlets. Network-connected models feature an LCD display and LEDs to indicate status oncommunication connectors. Managed models contain LEDs to indicate outlet status. Most ePDUs haveattached power cords and circuit breakers (see Figure 2).NOTE These capabilities are expressed in the model numbers of the ePDUsTable 1.
