Vertiv VP4N30AT Monitored Unit-Level Vertical PDU
Overview
The VP4N30AT is a vertical, unit-level monitored rack PDU rated for 30A at 277/480V WYE, delivering up to 19.9kW of IT load capacity. Designed for high-density data center cabinets where three-phase 480V WYE distribution is the feed standard, this unit mounts vertically along the cabinet's zero-U space, preserving every rack unit for active equipment. Unit-level monitoring gives facility and IT ops teams real-time power draw visibility per PDU — the baseline needed for capacity planning and load-balancing across high-density rows. The VP4N30AT is part of the Vertiv power distribution lineup targeting enterprise and colocation environments that have moved beyond standard 208V deployments.
Compatibility
The VP4N30AT provides 36 output receptacles in the Saf-D-Grid Series 400 (Anderson 2-pole) format — a proprietary connector standard used in high-voltage data center PDUs. Equipment connected to this unit must be fitted with matching Saf-D-Grid Series 400 power cords or inlet modules; standard NEMA or IEC C13/C19 devices are not directly compatible without an appropriate adapter. This PDU is sized for cabinets fed by a 30A, 277/480V WYE branch circuit — verify your upstream panel and breaker configuration before deploying. It integrates into Vertiv's monitored PDU ecosystem and is compatible with data center infrastructure management (DCIM) and power monitoring platforms that support Vertiv's PDU management interface. For standard 208V three-phase environments, a different input voltage variant is required.
Installation Notes
At 72 inches in depth and 30 lbs, this unit is sized for full-height 42U or 45U cabinets — confirm interior vertical channel clearance before ordering. Mounting is zero-U vertical; plan cable routing to reach Saf-D-Grid outlets distributed across the 72-inch span. Input feed requires a 30A 277/480V WYE branch circuit with appropriate locking input connector — confirm the whip or cord assembly separately, as it is not implied in the listed output options. Network connection for unit-level monitoring requires an available Ethernet port and compatible management switch port at the cabinet.
