APC by Schneider Electric AP7540 Power Distribution Unit

Overview

The APC AP7540 is a 0U vertical Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for high-density power distribution in 208V environments. It addresses the need to efficiently manage and deliver power to multiple IT devices within a rack, consolidating power connections and reducing cable clutter. This unit is particularly useful in server racks where space is at a premium and a high number of power outlets are required. The AP7540 is built for reliable power delivery to critical equipment.

Compatibility

This PDU is specifically designed to work with select APC Smart-UPS models, including the SMX1000C, SMX1500RM2UC, SMX1500RM2UCNC, SMX750C, SMX750CNC, SRT6KXLTW, and SRT8KXLJ. Ensure your UPS model is listed to guarantee proper integration and power management.

Installation Notes

The AP7540 features a NEMA L6-20 input connector, requiring a corresponding 208V, 20A circuit. It mounts vertically in a standard 19-inch rack, occupying 0U space. The unit provides 24 output receptacles: 20x IEC C13 and 4x IEC C19, allowing for a mix of standard and high-power device connections. Proper load balancing across the C13 and C19 outlets is recommended to prevent overloading individual circuits.
