SECTION [26 26 00] 
 
 POWER DISTRIBUTION UNITS 
 
PART 1 - GENERAL  
 
1.1 SUMMARY  
 
A. 
Scope:  Provide design and engineering, labor, material, equipment, related services, 
and supervision required, including, but not limited to, manufacturing, fabrication, erection, 
and installation for a power distribution unit (PDU) as required for the complete 
performance of the work, and as shown on the Drawings and as herein specified. 
 
B. 
Section Includes:  The work specified in this Section includes, but shall not be limited to, 
requirements for a complete modular power distribution system for powering IT loads.  
 
1. 
This specification describes the operation and functionality of a continuous duty, 
three-phase Modular Power Distribution Unit for Data Center and Infrastructure 
Equipment Room installation, hereafter referred to as the PDU.  
 
2. 
The PDU shall provide a mechanical means of complete isolation of the input source 
from the critical output distribution.  
 
3. 
The PDU shall contain the appropriate modular distribution panel within a Rack 
enclosure suitable for installation in a data center environment. The distribution 
panel shall be intrinsically finger safe, and shall be suitable for the installation of 
single or three phase modular circuit breaker assemblies without the need for hand 
tools.  
 
4. 
Each 208V PDU shall be comprised of trained-personnel hot-swappable circuit 
breakers which shall require no tools to install.  
 
5. 
All of the above system components are housed in a rack-mountable 5U enclosure 
having the dimensions 483mm (W) x 711mm (D) x 229mm (H). 
 
6. 
The PDU and associated equipment shall operate in conjunction with a primary 
power supply to provide quality uninterrupted power for mission critical, electronic 
equipment load.  
 
7. 
All programming and miscellaneous components for a fully operational system as 
described in this Section shall be available as part of the PDU.
