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 field wireable terminal blocks.  

There are 3 basic configurations 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.

These panels are only 3RU high and are supplied with brackets that allow mounting in a 

19” frame.
