How to select the model of a power distribution unit?

Whether it is a distribution room or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), in many cases, we need to select power distribution units according to our specific needs. To do this effectively, we must understand the selection techniques. When choosing a power distribution unit, we should not only consider the cost but also utilize Unikey  component model search channel. This way, we can acquire the necessary power distribution units within our budget. Let’s discuss the knowledge and channels one should be familiar with when selecting power distribution units.

Mastering Basic Selection Knowledge

When selecting suitable power distribution units, the first thing to focus on is the selection knowledge. We need to understand the meaning of various characters and letters on the power distribution units and grasp specific standards. For example, the GB 2099.1-2008 standard applies to household and similar use plugs and sockets. If we are selecting a power distribution unit for communication equipment, we should choose one that meets the YDT 2063-2009 standard.

Understanding the Naming Rules for Power Distribution Units

When choosing power distribution units, we often see various combinations of letters, which essentially represent their unique naming rules. For instance, the letter "P" stands for Power Distribution Unit, "A" indicates single-phase AC, mostly referring to household 220V AC, while "A3" refers to three-phase AC 380V. The letter "D" indicates 48V, and for power distribution units intended for distribution rooms, we often see "HD," representing 240V high-voltage DC.

Understanding Feature Codes and Characteristics

When selecting power distribution units, considering feature codes is important because different units must meet specific scenarios and thus possess unique attributes. For example, "S" represents surge protection modules, "CK" denotes rocker switches with overload protection, "W" indicates intelligent instruments with temperature and humidity monitoring, "R" signifies 485 intelligent instruments, and "I" stands for current and voltage display instruments. Based on the equipment to which the power distribution unit will be applied, we can examine these features to ensure they meet our functional requirements.Once we have mastered the aforementioned knowledge, we can proceed to use industry websites like Unikey for model searches. This way, we can quickly find power distribution units whose parameters, functions, and standards meet our needs, thereby improving our selection efficiency.
