PDI

 

 

PDI is North America’s largest independent designer, manufacturer, and servicer of mission critical power distribution, static switching, and power monitoring equipment for corporate data centers. PDI has been in the data center market for over 25 years and has the widest range of products in the industry. The core distribution products are remote power panels, power distribution units, and static transfer switch systems with a wide array of monitoring options centered on PDI’s patented Branch Circuit Monitoring System. The PDI product lines are supported by an industry best sales and service organization throughout the world.

 

 

Branch Circuit Monitoring System (BCMS)
Branch Circuit Monitoring System
PDI's Branch Circuit Monitoring System (BCMS) can measure and remotely monitor the current and voltage on each individual branch circuit. There are different monitoring packages available from PDI for your BCMS.

PDI's BCMS is a patented technology. PDI received patent number US 693309516 B1 for this technology.

Computer Cables
UL Listed Cables/Breakers
UL Listed Cables/Breakers are shielded in a flexible, steel conduit encased in a copper shield to prevent electrical noise (EMI) from other cables and equipment in your data center. By labeling each cable at each end, your site manager/contractor can easily and efficiently pick out how your computer equipment is cabled. Additionally, by color coordinating the cables, you can make the initial installation and future upgrades easier and more efficient.

Power Distribution Units
Powerpak Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
PDI's Powerpak Power Distribution Unit (PDU) protects your critical computer equipment from electrical noise and spikes and acts as a single point reference ground. Each PDU can be individually configured to meet your needs for isolation, voltage transformation, harmonic reduction and voltage regulation with virtually limitless distribution options. Built-in system monitoring and diagnostics facilitate load balancing and warn of potential threats to your critical equipment.

Powerpak Remote Power Panel (RPP)
PDI's Powerpak Remote Power Panel (RPP) is a freestanding distribution system designed to increase the usable kVA of your Power Distribution Units (PDUs). As your Data Center evolves from a few high powered devices to many low powered devices, your system becomes limited by the number of distribution points on your PDUs. PDI's RPP gives you the added pole space your system needs.

Custom configured in a freestanding enclosure, the RPP gives you the added flexibility and room for expansion by placing your power connection points closer to your equipment loads. Units are rated for 208v applications and each can provide up to 168 additional single phase circuits. Optional equipment now includes the Branch Circuit Monitoring System (BCMS) and local monitoring.

PowerPak WaveStar Series Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
WaveStar monitoring built into our PDUs give you real-time control of actual loads down to the individual breaker level. This important decision-making tool integrates PDI’s BCMS and Intelligent Monitoring System so you control system-wide performance, breaker power levels, along with current and voltage data. This means improved, more timely decisions can be made based on real-time load and capacity data, all in one interactive and monitoring package. The PDI WaveStar PowerHub PDU provides the highest available power density of any PDU. PDI’s award winning intelligent monitoring system is standard with these units.

QwikSwitch
Rack/Wall Mounted Static Switch
If you have multiple AC sources available, you can now take advantage of the seamless connection to long term standby power via the Qwikswitch™ and its patented “out of phase” switching. The Qwikswitch™ maintains continuous power to critical control systems without the limitations of conventional contactors or UPS type systems. This single phase static transfer switch is available in either a rack mount or panel mount configuration.

Quality Assurance

 

Quality Assurance at PDI is an ongoing process. As an order is manufactured, it goes through a five-step quality control program. The parts are inspected as they arrive from the vendors and when the sub-assembly is complete. After the assembly inspection, the unit is then checked before and after it enters the test area. On its way to the final assembly area, the unit is completely inspected to ensure that it complies with the equirements of the listing agency (i.e. UL, CSA, ETL, IEEE, etc.) and that it meets the customer's specifications. All products are built and inspected for compliance to the applicable codes or standards (i.e. NEC, IEEE, NEMA, MIL-STD-462, etc.) for the appropriate product class. Only after passing all inspections is the unit prepared for shipping and delivery to the customer.
