PDUAC3U SERIES DC POWER DISTRIBUTION PANELS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
UNIPOWER’s PDUAC3U Series AC power distribution units accept a 3-phase input and
provide single phase outputs that are distributed from the phases to ensure load babance on
the source. They provide AC distribution and overload protection for up to 12 load circuits
distributed through eld wireable terminal blocks.
There are 3 basic congurations operating from nominal 120VAC, 208VAC or 230VAC
outputs respectively. Each of these is available with either 4, 8 or 12 2-pole load circuit
breakers rated at 25A.
Model with and without input surge protection are available.

6.0 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
6.1 Power Distribution Circuits. Simplified schematic diagrams of the
distribution panels is shown in Figure 2. The inputs from each phase and
Neutral connect to a internal copper bus bars from which the circuit breakers
distribute power to the loads, either one phase and neutral for each circuit
(gure 2a) or two phases for each circuit (gure 2b) where neutral is not
distributed. This latter provides a 208VAC output.

9.2 Input Connections. The AC power inputs to the PDU are made through the ve
compression terminal blocks marked GND, N, L1, L2 & L3. The recommended
cable size for these connections is #2AWG.
9.3 Output Connections. Output connections are shown in Figure 4. There are 3 sets
of barrier strip terminals. The connections are numbered to correspond with the
numbers of the front panel breakers. Each barrier strip is intended for making output
connections to a single rectier shelf. Above the barrier strips are separate screws
which are used to make the ground connections.
Barrier strip connection use No. 6-32 screws. Recommended wire size is #10AWG.

10.0 UNP ACKING AND INSPECTION
10.1 This PDUAC3U Series PDU was carefully tested, inspected and packaged for
shipment from our factory . Upon receipt of the unit it should be carefully unpacked
and inspected for any damage in shipment.
10.2 If there is evidence of damage, do not attempt to test the unit. The freight carrier
should be notied immediately and a claim for the cost of the rectier system should
be led with the carrier for direct reimbursement. Be sure to include the model and
serial number of the damaged unit in all correspondence with the freight carrier.
Also save the shipping carton and packing material as evidence of damage for the
freight carrier’s inspection.
10.3
UNIPOWER will cooperate fully in case of any shipping damage investigation.
10.4 Always save the packing materials for later use in shipping the unit. Never ship the
unit without proper packing.
PDUAC3U SERIES
OPERATING MANUAL
11.0 INSTALLATION
11.1 Mounting. This PDU can be mounted in 19-inch racks by using the supplied
brackets. Mount it from the front of the rack using the correct osets to align with
existing rack-mounted equipment.
11.2 Input Connections. Input connections should be made with stripped end wire of
size #2AWG. See Section 9.2.
Connections should be made according to the source voltage as follows:
120VAC Line-Neutral
Connect each phase to L1, L2 & L3 respectively. Connect neutral to N.
208VAC Line-Line
Connect each phase to L1, L2 & L3 respectively. Connect neutral to N.
230VAC Line-Neutral
Connect each phase to L1, L2 & L3 respectively. Connect neutral to N.
11.3 Output connections are made to barrier strip connectors and grounding screws. See
Section 9.3 and Figure 5.
Manual No. pduac3u-3
Page 10
pduac3u-man-rev3-0317.indd
POWERING TECHNOLOGY
PDUAC3U SERIES
OPERATING MANUAL
Each output provides a single phase voltage of 120VAC, 208VAC or 230VAC
depending on the model. Models with 4 output breakers tted use CB1-4, those
with 8 breakers use CB1-8 and those with 12 breakers use CB1-12.
The internal wiring of the PDU ensures that the phases are distributed as evenly
across the outputs as possible. Make ALL connections to each rectier shelf from
a single barrier strip even if the system does not initially have a full compliment
of rectiers. This will ensure proper load balancing across the input phases and
also allow rectiers to be added at a later date without the need to install additional
cables.
11.4 Checking Connections. Carefully check the input connections to the PDU and
output connections to the load before operating the panel. In particular pay attention
to the input wiring as described in section 11.2. Incorrect connections will not harm
the PDU but may cause serious harm to the load. Check to make sure that the safety
ground connections is made. Make sure that all connections are clean and secure
to minimize contact resistance.
11.5 UL Requir ements. The following should be adhered to when installing this PDU:
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing this PDU in
an environment compatible with the maximum specied ambient temperature.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of this PDU in a rack should be such that the amount
of air ow required for safe operation of this PDU is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of this PDU in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of this
PDU to the supply circuit and the eect that overloading of the circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of PDU
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of this rack-mounted PDU should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).”

POWERING TECHNOLOGY
13.0 SETUP AND TESTING
13.1 It is not necessary to have the PDU mounted in a rack for initial testing. This can
be done on a bench. It is also not necessary to have loads connected to the panel
for this testing.
13.2 With the input power source o, connect the input wires to the PDU. Set all circuit
breakers to on.
13.3
Turn on the input power source. Check the output voltage at each set of output
terminals with a digital voltmeter.
13.4 Switch o all circuit breakers and disconnect the AC source.
13.5 The PDU may now be connected to its intended application.
13.6 If the distribution panel did not operate properly in the above tests, go back and
double check the connections to make sure it is correct.
