The difference between PDU power socket and common socket

Date：2020-12-02 06:04:46

At present, maintaining the normal operation of industrial projects is inseparable from the continuous power supply, not only that, PDU power socket is also an important guarantee for continuous power supply. PDU power socket as the last pass of all equipment in the computer room, it is the gatekeeper of all equipment and systems of the enterprise. If its stability and security are not good, it will bring equipment damage and even serious loss of system collapse. Therefore, every PDU power socket should be strictly screened when it comes out. In addition, PDU power sockets are divided into basic, functional and intelligent power sockets according to their functions. I believe that there are also some people who are first exposed to industrial projects who still don?t understand why they are all power sockets, which are used to power on, but there are PDUs and ordinary sockets. Let?s share them with you one by one.

1. Different materials

First of all, the two materials are very different. The general socket is made of plastic material, while the PDU power socket is made of metal material and has the function of anti-static. Qunfang technology company?s PDU power socket selected high-quality PDU profiles, wall thickness of 2.0 mm, both feel and strength, are far better than most of the same level products on the market, there will be no collapse or socket drop. The profile surface is treated by electrostatic spraying, and the finished product is beautiful and elegant

2. Different functions

Secondly, it is different in function. The common socket only has the functions of power overload and general control, and the output of Jack is also monotonous; PDU not only has many functions (lightning protection function, master control switch, overload protection, current and voltage display, remote monitoring function, online detection of smoke temperature and humidity, etc.), but also the output module can be reasonably matched and selected according to the specific situation (including national standard, American Standard, international IEC, German standard, etc.), which can meet the needs of different customers.

3. Different fields

Ordinary socket is generally used for home or office use, can provide power for computers, computers and other electrical appliances. PDU power socket is generally used in data center, network system and industrial project. And it is generally installed on the equipment rack, which is used to provide power for switches, routers and other equipment.

4. The load power is different

Due to the different uses of the two power sockets, their load power is also very different. In terms of load power, the cable configuration load of ordinary socket is relatively weak, most of which are rated at 10A; when using 1.5mm2 cable, a few manufacturers will nominal 16A 4000W. According to the national cable and wire standards, no matter which configuration is, the rated bearing power of ordinary socket is difficult to achieve more than 4000W. It can be seen that it is difficult to meet the requirements of the computer room which is growing rapidly. PDU socket is undoubtedly to a large extent to solve this problem, because any of its components can be customized, which can fully meet the safety of the power environment of the computer room. At present, the industrial plug is more and more widely used in PDU, and its current number can meet the requirements of 16a, 32a, 63A and so on. Therefore, it is very wrong to use the ordinary non professional socket on the cabinet.

5. Different service life

From the service life: the ordinary socket is generally 2-3 years. The PDU power socket has higher requirements for service life due to its more industrial scenarios. The PDU socket is made of super conductive metal? Tin (phosphorus) bronze. It has good wear resistance and conductivity. The temperature rise is only 20 ℃ when it is electrified at full load for one hour, which is far lower than the national standard of 45 ℃. Hot swap more than 10000 times, service life up to 10 years, more than 5 times the ordinary socket.
