Power distribution system (PDU) refers to an electrical device used to control the distribution of power to individual loads. The PDU may be in the form of separately controlled device or it may be integrated directly into the UPS (uninterruptible power supply).Large industrial units are utilized for taking high voltage and amperage and diminish it to more common and functional levels. They are widely used in computer data centers, stage shows and other electrically intensive applications. Most of the PDU are available with features such as, remote monitoring and control down to plug level, etc. A PDU permits for a solidly bonded neutral, and a safe grounding system.

What are Heavy Non-Locking plugs and Receptacles?

Heavy Non-Locking plugs provide connection to the electrical mains rated at higher voltages and currents. They are available in a variety of standardized configuration. Heavy Non-Locking plugs make for a dependable connection in commercial and industrial settings.Usually most of the receptacles in USA and Canada are known as duplex receptacles. Receptacles generally have break-away tabs to separate the top, and bottom halves in order to place the two outlets on separate circuits. Receptacles permit one switched outlet to be used for a lamp, or for two circuits to be used when heavy loads are expected. Electrical Receptacles provide the required current to run electrical devices with ease. Receptacles are commonly used in residential, general purpose, commercial, industrial, laboratory and hospitals.

What are NEMA Locking plugs and Receptacles?

NEMA the abbreviation stands for National electrical manufacturer association. NEMA defines standards for electrical interconnects and summarize manufacturing standard for electrical products. Locking plugs are preferred for heavier equipment in most of the industrial and commercial environments as it ensures more reliable current delivery. Locking plugs are available in wide assortment of standardized configuration and designed to prevent any accidental interchange of voltage and current ratings.When locking plugs are pushed into the receptacle the plug is twisted and its now-rotated prongs latch into the receptacle. To unlatch the plug the rotation is inverted. NEMA Locking plugs and Receptacles are widely acclaimed as a reliable connection in commercial and industrial settings.i-Tech is Online Superstore for 1U/2U Rack mount monitors, KVM switches and Server Racks, digital signage displays, industrial touch screen and open frame LCD monitors at competitive prices.
