Page 54: Appendix C: Circuit Breakers
Cyclades PM IPDU Installer/Administrator/User Guide Appendix C: Circuit Breakers The PM IPDU circuit breakers are designed to turn the power off to some or all of the PM IPDU outlets in case the rated current is exceeded. The circuit breaker mechanism for each PM IPDU model is explained in the following sections. -
Page 55: Figure C.1: Pm10-L30A Ipdu Circuit Breakers
Appendices PM10-L30A IPDU The PM10-L30A IPDU has two 15-amp circuit breakers. The first circuit breaker controls outlets 1 through 5 and the power supply to the controller; the second circuit breaker controls outlets 6 through 10. If the total current flow to outlets 6 through 10 exceeds 15 amps due to equipment connected to these outlets, then the second circuit breaker will trip, causing outlets 6 through 10 to shut down. -
