A PDU takes an input power signal and distributes it to a number of outlets that can power components of the system. These internal power outlets from the PDU have a rated voltage and current and are available for both alternating and direct current.

  • The RMX-10151 Single-Phase PDU provides single-phase voltage sources to up to eight rack instruments as well as DC PDUs.
  • RMX-10153 3-Phase PDUs supply 3-phase power from RMX-10140-50D2P and RMX-10140-50Y2P power entry panels (PEPs) to up to three 3-phase powered instruments in the rack.
  • AUX DC 600 and AUX DC 1200 PDUs provide DC voltage sources to devices in an ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 system using static 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V rails.

AC and DC power outlets can be controlled and monitored using the NI-ATE Core driver. The current for each outlet is monitored using an onboard current sensor.
