NonStop NS14000 Series Planning Guide (H06.13+)
International: 200 to 240 V AC, Monitored Single-Phase PDUs
The international PDU power characteristics are:
PDU input characteristics
• 200 to 240 V AC, single phase, 32A RMS, 3-wire
• 50/60Hz
• IEC309 3-pin, 32A input plug
• 6.5 feet (2 m) attached harmonized power cord
PDU output characteristics
• 3 circuit-breaker-protected 20A load segments
• 36 AC receptacles per PDU (12 per segment) - IEC 320
C13 12A receptacle type
• 3 AC receptacles per PDU (1 per segment) - IEC 320
C19 16A receptacle type
Branch Circuits and Circuit Breakers, Monitored Single-Phase PDUs
Modular cabinets for the NonStop NS14000 series system contain two PDUs. In cabinets without
the optional rack-mounted UPS, each of the two PDUs requires a separate branch circuit of these
ratings:

Category D circuit breaker is required.
CAUTION: Be sure the hardware configuration and resultant power loads of each cabinet within
the system do not exceed the capacity of the branch circuit according to applicable electrical codes
and regulations.
NOTE: If your system includes the optional rackmounted HP R5000 UPS or HP R5500 XR UPS,
the modular cabinet will have one PDU located on the rear left side and four extension bars on
the rear right side. To provide redundancy, components are plugged into the left-side PDU and the
extension bars. Each extension bar is plugged into the UPS.
Branch circuit requirements vary by the input voltage and the local codes and applicable regulations
regarding maximum circuit and total distribution loading. Select circuit breaker ratings according
to local codes and any applicable regulations for the circuit capacity.
Note that circuit breaker ratings vary if your system includes the optional rackmounted HP R5000
UPS or HP R5500 XR Integrated UPS (see “Circuit Breaker Ratings for UPS” (page 58)).
Monitored Three-Phase PDUs
Two monitored three-phase power distribution units (PDUs) are installed to provide redundant
power outlets for the components mounted in the modular cabinet. The PDUs are oriented inward,
facing the components within the modular cabinet. Each PDU is 60 inches long and has 39 AC
receptacles, three circuit breakers, and an AC power cord. The PDU is oriented with the AC power
cord exiting the modular cabinet at either the top or bottom rear corners of the cabinet, depending
on the sites power feed needs.
