Optima 30 Amp PDUs ↑

Marway’s Optima power distribution units offer more industrial capability than most commodity 30 Amp PDUs. Entry-level models provide solutions for budget-concious needs, but most models include options suited to more industrial-like environments.

• Surge suppression on all models.
• Circuit breaker(s), inlet power indicator(s) on all models.
• Relocatable brackets for flush or recessed mounting.

Numerous Options

• Smart and basic control platforms.
• Outlets include 5-15, 5/L5-20, 6/6L-20, C13, C19.
• Inlets for 120/208 3Φ, 100–240 1Φ, or 120 1Φ Vac.
• Inlet at front or rear for 2U and 3U models.
• 120v 30 Amp PDU models.
• 240v 30 Amp PDU models.
• 120/208v 30 Amp PDU models.

Standard and Custom

• 130 standard configurations for 30 Amps.
• Another 170 models for 20 Amps and 15 Amps.
• Customize to get the exact features you need.
• Gain more control by customizing circuit branches, outlet switching, digital monitoring, and more.
• Save space by integrating different power sources and conversions in the same enclosure.
• Optimize enclosures to meet needs for installation, ergonomics, or even non-rack spaces.

Semi-standard PDUs

Semi-standard PDUs are products which were a custom design at one time, but which are now available to all customers. They include a variety of outlets, controls, and other options which offer designs distinct from the standard products.

30 Amp PDU Option Highlights ↑

With almost 130 standard 30 Amp models across multiple product series, defining the options thoroughly is best left to each model’s dedicated web page or the Standard Products Catalog. However, here are a few highlights to glance over.

Standard Features

Every unit has a main breaker, a main power on indicator (1 for 1Φ, 3 for 3Φ), and a surge suppressor (details are in the catalog).

EMI Filter

Why choose to have an EMI filter? An electro-magnetic interference filter is one of a few tools which can be used to clean up noisy power signals in industrial-like environments. Most office/IT facilities would likely not need one, but in facilities with machine shops, conveyors, or other large electrical equipment being switched on and off, disturbances get introduced into the power signals throughout the building. Having an EMI filter at the PDU helps protect downstream equipment.

• For the 820, 520 series (1U), an EMI filter is optional.
• For the 320 series (1U), an EMI filter is standard.
• For all 0U models (839/829, 539/529, 329), there is no room for an EMI filter, so one is not available.

Remote Switching and EPO

The Optima remote switching/EPO feature is primarily designed for use with Marway’s Commander control panels. A Commander panel may be connected to one or more PDUs to provide remote on/off and EPO functionality for several racks in unison. In all models, the two utility outlets are not controlled by the EPO, but all other outlets are.

• For the 820, 520 series (1U), the remote EPO system is optional.
• For the 532 (2U), 533, 833 (3U) series, the remote EPO system is standard.
• For all 0U models (839/829, 539/529, 329), there is no room for the EPO system, so one is not available.

Staggered Startup

• The 520 series units (1U), have a special option which adds an approximate 2-second delay to the powering of the four Group C outlets. This can help reduce in-rush loads since the 520 has a single circuit breaker.
• All 8 Series smart PDU products inherently have a staggered powering of outlets during startup. Additionally, on-delays can be programmed uniquely for each outlet.

Custom PDUs ↑

• Overcome the limitations of standard PDUs.
• Gain more control by customizing circuit branches, outlet switching, digital monitoring, and more.
• Save space by integrating different power sources and conversions in the same enclosure.
• Improve safety by integrating external EPO and interlocks.
• Protect downstream equipment with integrated surge suppression, EMI filters, and more.
• Optimize enclosures to meet needs for installation, ergonomics, or even non-rack spaces.
