Start Up the PDU
Contact Schneider Electric to schedule the first start-up of the PDU. Only qualified personnel must handle or operate the equipment.
Follow these steps any time that the system is restarted after having been shut completely down with no power applied to the system.
- Verify the following before starting the PDU:
- The upstream input circuit breaker is in the OFF (open) position.
- The power cables have been correctly connected to the input busbars.
- Voltage connected to the PDU matches the PDU nameplate and model number.
- All equipment has been properly grounded.
- All power cables and signal cables are installed correctly.
- All ventilation areas are free for obstructions that might impair proper airflow.
- Set the upstream input circuit breaker to the ON (closed)
position.

Verify normal operation of the PDU immediately after the start-up has been performed.
Use the display and power meters (if present) to verify proper readings from all circuits.
