Vertiv Rpdu Basic Upgradeable 30A 277/480V WYE 19.9KW Horizontal (12) Anderson 20 - VP1N31A6

Vertiv VP1N31A6 Basic Upgradeable Horizontal RPDU

Overview

The VP1N31A6 is a 1U horizontal rack power distribution unit rated for 30A at 277/480V WYE — a three-phase high-voltage configuration purpose-built for high-density data center and industrial rack deployments where standard 120/208V PDUs fall short. With 12 Saf-D-Grid Series 400 outlets delivering 277V output, it supports high-efficiency server and storage loads that demand true three-phase distribution without down-conversion losses. The 'basic upgradeable' designation means the unit ships as a metered baseline but accepts Vertiv intelligence modules for monitoring or switching capability later — letting you defer cost on racks that don't yet require remote visibility. At 30 lb across a 17.12 × 12 × 1.75 in footprint, the VP1N31A6 mounts in a standard 1U rack bay and keeps the power plane off the floor for cleaner cable management.

Compatibility

The Saf-D-Grid Series 400 outlet format is a Vertiv-proprietary safety-keyed connector system — verify that all connected equipment uses compatible Saf-D-Grid Series 400 power cords before specifying this unit. Input feeds require a 30A, 277/480V WYE branch circuit; confirm your facility's panel supports this voltage class before ordering. The upgradeable intelligence slot is compatible with Vertiv's Geist-series monitoring modules — consult the power distribution unit family page for compatible upgrade module part numbers. This unit is not interchangeable with Vertiv PDUs designed for 208V or single-phase circuits.

Installation Notes

Mount horizontally in a standard 19-inch rack; the 17.12-inch width fits EIA-310 rack rails. Input whip must be terminated to a dedicated 30A, 277/480V WYE circuit — do not share the branch circuit with other loads. Saf-D-Grid connectors require matched Series 400 cords; standard NEMA or IEC C19/C13 cords will not mate. Account for 30 lb unit weight when planning rail load limits.
