Tripp Lite Metered PDU, 10 Outlets (8 C13, 2 C19), 200-240V, C20/L6-20P Adapter, 3.2-3.8kW, 12 ft. Cord, 1U Rack-Mount Single-Phase PDU, TAA (PDUMH20HV)

This is being used for critical infrastructure use and it works great. Very solid and reliable. We will be buying these in the future. I wish I could try their other products when the needs arise.

It's just a PDU, so not much can wrong. Minor nit: I bought this one because of the power usage meter. Mine stays stuck on 00. I suspect the meter is a stairstep reading, and if I loaded the PDU more I'd see something.

I’m not sure what’s up with some of the negative feedback on these units. Per the NEC, you can’t place a continuous load (defined as 3 or more hours of operation) on an over current protection device. The 24A max loading on these devices is there to protect would-be home electricians from violating the 80% loading rule, which = 24A on a 30A circuit. I’m not a licensed electrician, but worked for one for many years. If you’re loading an OCPD to 100%, both the wire and breaker are going to get hot- eventually leading to a trip condition. These protections are there to keep you from burning a house down. If you actually need a full continuous 30A, you either need two circuits- or a sub-panel. There are *very few* exceptions to this guidance, and almost nobody meets them (they also require a breaker rated for continuous load). The hardware works fine and does exactly as it’s supposed to do. Happy, and safe customer.

This seems to work well overall. The meter does not work with light loads.If you need a PDU and this is priced right, go for it. If you are buying it for the metered feature, look at other options.The overall build quality, aside from the meter, is good.

The: Tripp Lite Metered PDU, 20A, 12 Outlets (5-15/20R), 120V, L5-20P / 5-20P, 110-127V Input, 15 ft. Cord, 1U Rack-Mount Power (PDUMH20) black; was the best choice for my custom built Portable UPS Cart project. It paired well with the 2500 watt, 120 volt, 20 amp hour inverter, with built-in transfer switch, that I needed to use for uninterrupted backup power to several devices. I especially chose a PDU with built-in amp meter readout display for monitoring the connected loads. The unit seems very well built and I already have an acquired confidence in Tripp Lite products that I currently own.

Slick, professional PDU for serious use with expensive equipment. It's solid, well built, looks good and my stuff doesn't catch on fire, because it's not built by careless slobs.The metering is large and clear, you can read it clear across the room.They say there's a particular joy you get from using nice tools, I've found the same thing applies to nice equipment. It's just better.It's not particularly inexpensive, but it's worth every penny.

This is an updated review. I had originally stated that the meter always displayed "0", regardless of what was plugged in. But apparently, I was just not drawing enough to push it. I plugged in more devices today and started seeing the meter display change.Overall, I think this is a great PDU. Tripp Lite has always been good to me and this is no exception. It fits perfectly in my half-rack and has plenty of plugs to power everything within it.

Tripp Lite does not tell the complete truth about how this PDU works. Although this is a metered PDU, the PDU will only display "0" until you reach 25% of the unit's capacity. After I was told this by their technical support, I asked why this wasn't mentioned in the user manual. The manual even states that "the total electrical current used by the PDU will be displayed on the digitial meter in amperes".I also asked, what possible value could this have for a consumer, to only see the amp load when the unit is above 25% of the capacity? I want to know how much load the PDU has at ALL times.The support person couldn't give me a reasonable answer other than "that's how it works". Obviously, Tripp Lite is aware that it was designed this way, but they don't want you to know that until after you've bought it. Would you buy a car that was designed so that the fuel gauge only worked when it was below 25% of the tank's capacity?Update: I was contacted by Tripp Lite technical support; they tell me that the CSR whom I spoke to earlier was wrong about the 25% threshold, and that the ammeter should display even with a 2A load. So they're considering this one defective and sending a replacement unit in "7-10 business days". Will update when received, but for now my rating stands at 1-star due to poor product quality, unclear documentation, and inaccurate technical support.
