Outlets and Circuit Breakers
A variety of outlet types are available for the Eaton ePDUs. Each ePDU model has a specific configuration of
outlets.The configuration can be standard or customized to suit your needs.
The outlets are grouped in sets called sections. Sections are preset groups of individual outlets that you can
identify and monitor through the interfaces that are available with your particular type of ePDU.
The outlets are color-coded and labeled, and if the model has circuit breakers, the circuit breakers that are
associated with the outlets have corresponding labels (see Figure 34). (The “circuit breaker tripped” status is
not reported.)
Outlets and sections of outlets can be managed through the Web Interface (see “Groups” on page 90,
“Outlets” on page 91, and “User-Defined Group Definition” on page 100). You can see measurement readings
using the local LCD interface.
