Figure C.2: PM10i-L30A IPDU Circuit Breakers
PM10i-32A IPDU and PM10i-32Au IPDU
The PM10i-32A has two 16-amp circuit breakers. The first circuit breaker controls outlets 6
through 10; the second controls outlets 1 through 5. In the event that the total current flow to outlets
6 through 10 exceeds 16 amps due to equipment connected to these outlets, the first circuit breaker
will trip causing outlets 6 through 10 to shutdown. This does not affect outlets 1 through 5, which
are controlled by the second circuit breaker.
The PM IPDU controller is installed so that tripping either or both breakers will not render
it inoperative.
When either circuit breaker trips, only the power outlets of that segment will be affected, and half
of the outlets remain operative.
PM20-L30A IPDU
The PM20-L30A IPDU has two 15-amp circuit breakers. The first circuit breaker controls outlets
11 through 20; the second controls outlets 1 through 10 as well as the power supply to the logic
board. In the event that the total current flow to outlets 11 through 20 exceeds 15 amps due to
equipment connected to these outlets, then the first circuit breaker will trip causing outlets 11
through 20 to shutdown. This does not affect outlets 1 through 10 which are controlled by the
second circuit breaker.
