Schneider Electric AP8831 Metered Rack PDU

The Schneider Electric AP8831 is a metered rack power distribution unit built for server rooms and data centres. It delivers active metering so operators can monitor real-time power consumption on each circuit. User-defined alarm thresholds trigger local and remote alerts before an overload occurs. The unit includes a temperature and humidity sensor port for environmental tracking.

Suited for managed IT environments

This PDU suits data-centre managers who need per-outlet visibility and remote control via Web, SNMP or Telnet interfaces. It also fits teams using APC centralised management platforms for capacity planning and energy reporting. Facilities without network monitoring infrastructure or those needing only basic power distribution without metering should consider simpler alternatives.

Metered monitoring with locking IEC outlets

The defining specification is the combination of active power metering and locking IEC receptacles that prevent accidental disconnection. Ultra-low-profile circuit breakers protect each branch without adding bulk. A sensor port allows optional temperature and humidity probes to be added. These features together determine whether the unit matches the monitoring and physical-security needs of a given rack deployment.

Questions about this item

At what load does the 11.1 kg AP8831 PDU trip its circuit breaker?

The ultra low-profile circuit breaker trips when the total connected load exceeds the PDU's rated input current, which is shown on the unit's rating label.

How much heat does the AP8831 add to a rack when running continuously?

The PDU's own power loss is minimal; most rack heat comes from the attached IT equipment, which the metered display helps you balance across phases.

Which management platform must already be in place to use the AP8831's SNMP alerts?

Any SNMP-capable monitoring system — such as APC InfraStruxure Central — can receive traps once the PDU's IP address and community strings are configured.
