PDU Power Distribution Unit
LXinstruments PDU
Modular configurable power distribution units
A PDU (Power Distribution Units), is an electrical distributor that makes it possible to supply several consumers with power independently of each other from one power connection. Either a DC voltage or single-phase or three-phase AC voltage is available at the output.
The PDUs developed by LXinstruments comprise a series of nine basic units that can be configured in a modular way. All units meet the criteria of the EN ISO 13849-1 standard according to Performance Level "d" (PLd). The devices are especially suitable for use for testing purposes and are designed for installation in 19-inch racks. The wide range of options and accessories guarantees optimal adaptation to the most diverse testing requirements.
Features of the modular configurable power distribution units
- Single and three-phase variants available
- Main switch for all-pole power disconnection of the system on the input side
- Separate fuse protection for all circuits by miniature circuit breakers
- RCD, Residual Current Device (Type A) integrated as standard
- Emergency stop function in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1, performance level "d" (PLd), optionally extendable to performance level "e" (PLe)*
- Linking with further push-buttons or other emergency stop units possible
- Service socket with permanent supply integrated in front*
- Output 10 A (IEC14) for connection of additional equipment or power strips*
- Output 10 A (IEC14) with permanent supply for connection of a PC and peripherals*
- 19-inch slide-in mounting (1U required above the unit for cooling)
- Up to 3 short-circuit proof fixed voltage DC power supplies with 5 V, 12 V and 24 V*
- Front panel in RAL 7035
* not available for all units, if you have any questions please contact our sales department.

LXinstruments GmbH was founded in 2006 as a solution provider for all issues relating to instruments and systems in electronic measurement technology. Our systems are mainly based on the LXI standard (Lan based Extensions for Instrumentation), an open industry standard. The portfolio was gradually expanded to include the sale of electronic test & measurement instruments and components and products developed in-house.
Our sister company, bsw TestSystems & Consulting, was integrated into the company in 2009. With its specialisation in RF solutions, it primarily supports the semiconductor and telecommunications industry as well as university and research institutions.
