Is PDU Re-wiring
Necessary?
Introduction
Re-wiring the PDU is necessary only if you are
connecting it to a different power configuration than it
was wired for — not merely a different voltage, but a
different configuration (see Table 6-3). See the
examples below.
Suppose your system’s PDU is wired for 220 volts wye
(option 3PY) and you want to connect it to:
1 208 volts wye (option 3PY)
No re-wiring is necessary; this is merely a voltage
change and all internal components will handle 200
to 240 volts.
2 220 volts delta (option 3PD)
No re-wiring is necessary; options 3PY and 3PD
have the same internal wiring.
3 220 volts wye with neutral (opt 3PN)
Re-wiring is necessary because the internal circuits
are wired phase-to-neutral and the internal
components would be under-powered. Whenever you
switch from a non-neutral to a neutral configuration,
or vice versa, you must re-wire the PDU.
If you determine that re-wiring the PDU is necessary, go
to PDU Wiring Diagrams on page 6-12.
