Introduction
Eaton ePDU G3 Operation Manual P-164000277—Rev 5
2
The ePDU G3 family provides six different ePDU topologies. The monitoring or switching capabilities are
characterized as follows:
l
Basic (BA) with no monitoring or intelligent controls
l
In-Line Metered (IL) with monitoring at the input
l
Metered Input (MI) with monitoring at the input and branch
l
Metered Outlet (MO) with monitoring at the input, branch, and individual outlet monitoring, but no outlet
control
l
Switched (SW) with control of outlets but no individual outlet monitoring
l
Managed (MA) with monitoring at the input, branch, and individual outlet control and monitoring
Table 1 shows which main features are implemented or not implemented, depending on the topology:

Eaton ePDU Models
The Eaton ePDU models support world-wide markets. These model types are defined primarily by the system
management and monitoring capabilities, but the capabilities are also defined by the hardware configurations.
The ePDU models support single-phase applications (or three-phase for Americas models) and can manage 6
to 42 outlets. Network-connected models feature an LCD display and LEDs to indicate status on
communication connectors. Managed models contain LEDs to indicate outlet status. Most ePDUs have
attached power cords and circuit breakers (see Figure 2).
NOTE
These capabilities are expressed in the model numbers of the ePDUs
