Switched Three-Phase PDU 208V 20A

This APC AP8962 is a switched rack power distribution unit that takes a 208 V three-phase feed at 20 A through a NEMA L21-20P plug and delivers 120 V to twenty-four NEMA 5-20R outlets. It mounts vertically in a 0U form factor and provides remote on/off control, power sequencing, and real-time current metering for each outlet. Network management is available via secure Web, SNMP, or Telnet interfaces.

Suited For / Not Suited For

The unit suits data-centre racks that need outlet-level switching and load monitoring on a 208 V three-phase 20 A supply with standard North American 5-20R receptacles. It is not for sites that lack three-phase 208 V power, that require IEC-style outlets, or that need a horizontal rack-mount form factor.

Deciding Specification

The single specification that decides fit is the input connector: a NEMA L21-20P plug delivering 208 V three-phase at 20 A. If the facility provides that exact supply, the PDU can be used; otherwise a different input configuration is required.

Questions about this item

Will the 20 A three-phase input trip before the 24 outlets reach full load?

The unit is rated for 20 A maximum input current on a 208 V three-phase feed; the internal branch breakers protect the 24 NEMA 5-20R outlets so sustained draw cannot exceed the 20 A supply limit.

How much heat and noise does the AP8962 add when it runs continuously in a 45 °C aisle?

The PDU has no fans and operates silently; its own dissipation is minimal, and the specified operating range tops out at 45 °C with 5–95 % humidity.

What upstream connection must the site already provide for the NEMA L21-20P plug?

A 208 V three-phase 20 A circuit terminated in a NEMA L21-20R receptacle is required; the PDU includes a 6.0 ft cord to reach it.
