Description

Vertiv VA5N31A0 Switched Rack PDU

Overview

The Vertiv VA5N31A0 is a switched rack power distribution unit (PDU) designed for critical IT environments. It provides 12 NEMA 5-20R outlets, enabling granular control and monitoring of power to individual devices within a rack. With a 30A capacity at 208V, this unit is suitable for high-density server racks where reliable power delivery and remote management are paramount. The VA5N31A0 facilitates remote on/off switching for individual outlets, allowing for device reboots and power cycling without requiring physical access to the rack, thereby minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed for standard 19-inch rack installations. It is compatible with any standard rack enclosure requiring a 30A, 208V input. The 12 NEMA 5-20R outlets are suitable for a wide range of IT equipment, including servers, network switches, and storage devices. Its 50/60Hz frequency compatibility ensures broad operational range. The unit's 1.72-inch height (1U) fits standard rack elevations.

Installation Notes

The VA5N31A0 requires a 208V, 30A circuit. Ensure the power source can support the PDU's maximum load capacity of 4.9kW (approximately 2.8kW per phase if balanced). The operating temperature range is up to 60°C, suitable for most standard data center environments. Proper ventilation around the PDU is recommended to maintain optimal operating conditions and longevity.
