Metered 30 A rack PDU

The APC AP8870 is a metered power distribution unit built for 120/208 V three-phase circuits rated at 30 A. It delivers 5.76 kVA through a vertical 0U form factor that mounts without tools in standard racks. Data-centre operators and IT managers use it to monitor real-time load on each branch circuit.

Sixteen 5-20R and twelve C13 plus two C19 outlets

The outlet mix supports both North-American locking plugs and IEC 320 equipment without adapters. Locking IEC receptacles prevent accidental disconnects under vibration. A 9.8 ft input cord with NEMA L14-30P plug reaches floor-mounted panels, while the built-in temperature/humidity sensor port adds environmental visibility.

Verify 120/208 V 30 A service

Confirm the facility provides a 120/208 V single-phase 30 A feed with a matching NEMA L14-30R receptacle. Ensure the rack has vertical 0U mounting space and that the 14.04 lb unit does not exceed the rack's load rating. Check that connected devices accept 120 V output and IEC 320 C13 or C19 inlets.

Questions about this item

Will the IEC C13 and C19 outlets need periodic retightening to maintain a secure connection?

The IEC 320 C13 and C19 receptacles are locking type, designed to resist vibration and prevent accidental disconnection without routine retightening.

At what load does the ultra low profile circuit breaker trip on the 30 A input?

The branch circuit breaker protects the 30 A NEMA L14-30P input and will trip if total draw exceeds 30 A, limiting sustained use to 5.0 kW.

How much heat does the unit add to the rack when running at full 5.76 kVA metered load?

The PDU itself consumes minimal power for metering and network functions; nearly all 5.76 kVA passes through to connected equipment, so rack heat rise matches the IT load.
