Powerware ePDU TPC4100 12-Outlets 5.76kVA PDU

The Powerware ePDU TPC4100 delivers robust, scalable power distribution in a compact, space-efficient 1U package. Engineered for data centers and mission-critical server rooms, this horizontal, rack-mountable PDU combines a generous 12-outlet configuration with a high 5.76 kVA capacity, ensuring reliable power delivery to critical equipment while simplifying cable management and airflow. With a versatile input interface (NEMA L21-20P) and 120/230 V operation, the TPC4100 is designed to support diverse workloads and evolving infrastructure, helping you protect uptime without sacrificing performance or efficiency.

• 12 Outlets for Flexible Load Distribution: The 12 x NEMA 5-20R receptacles provide ample outlet density for servers, storage arrays, switches, and other critical devices. This configuration enables clean, organized wiring within 19" racks, reduces cable clutter, and makes it easier to balance loads across the cabinet. The arrangement supports scalable deployments as you expand your data center with additional gear, while keeping individual device power needs neatly compartmentalized.
• High-Capacity Power Distribution: With a rating of 5.76 kVA / 5760 W, the TPC4100 accommodates peak demands of contemporary IT equipment. This generous capacity gives you headroom for dense configurations and future growth, minimizing the risk of overloading sockets or tripping breakers. The robust power delivery helps maintain performance stability for critical workloads, even during surge events or transient spikes.
• Versatile Input and Output Configuration: The PDU uses a NEMA L21-20P inlet to support both 120 V and 230 V operation, delivering compatible power to the connected 12 x NEMA 5-20R outlets. This versatility makes the TPC4100 suitable for mixed environments and various data center standards, enabling efficient integration with existing electrical infrastructure while ensuring safe, clean power delivery to every receptacle.
• 1U Horizontal Rack-Mount Design: Designed to fit standard 19" server racks, the TPC4100 occupies just 1U of rack space. Its horizontal orientation simplifies cabling and airflow management, allowing technicians to position cooling and cable management devices effectively. The slim profile also helps maximize usable rack space for hardware and expansion, delivering a compact yet powerful distribution solution for modern data centers.
• Core Protection for Uptime: Equipped with spike and surge protection, the TPC4100 guards sensitive IT gear against voltage transients. This protection minimizes the risk of equipment damage and unexpected downtime caused by power irregularities. In addition to outlet protection, the PDU contributes to a safer, more reliable IT environment by reducing nuisance outages and supporting longer equipment lifespans.

How to install Powerware ePDU TPC4100

• Prepare your rack environment by ensuring adequate clearance for front and rear access, proper ventilation, and a stable electrical feed that matches the L21-20P inlet requirements.
• Power off the rack and confirm the main electrical panel or circuit breaker feeding the data center is de-energized before installation.
• Mount the ePDU securely in a 19" rack using the provided hardware. Slide it into position and fasten mounting screws to ensure solid support and vibration resistance during operation.
• Connect the NEMA L21-20P inlet to the appropriate power source, following your facility’s electrical guidelines. Verify polarity, ground continuity, and cable integrity before powering on.
• Route and organize the 12 x NEMA 5-20R outlet cables to connected devices, using cable management tools to maintain airflow and minimize strain on cords. Avoid over-tight bends and ensure cords are not obstructing access to other rack components.
• Power on the PDU and monitor for proper indicators or controller signals. Test individual outlets with non-critical loads first, confirm each receptacle delivers stable voltage, and verify protection features are active.
• Document the installation, including inlet configuration, outlet usage, and any loads connected to each receptacle. This helps with future capacity planning, maintenance, and audits.
