safety information safety warnings Figure 1-2 Cable and Plugs Between the PDU and the Wall Receptacle IEC309 L6-20P L6-30P CEE7/7 Unterminated PDU leakage current WARNING Due to the number of components that can be installed on one Power Distribution Unit (PDU), there may be a risk of high leakage current (>3.5mA).
PDU power limitations CAUTION To reduce the risk of overload, do not exceed the rated load of any single PDU. In addition, do not load a single NEMA 5-15 (see Fig. 1-3) receptacle with more than 15 Amperes and any single IEC 320-1/C13 receptacle with more than 10 Amperes.
