Appendices 79 Appendix C: Circuit Breakers The PM IPDU circuit breakers are designed to shut the power off to some or all of the PM IPDU outlets in case the rated current is exceeded. The circuit breaker mechanism for each PM IPDU model is explained the in the following sections.
PAGE 92
80 Cyclades PM IPDU Installer/Administrator/User Guide Figure C.1: PM10-L30A IPDU Circuit Breakers PM10i-L30A IPDU The PM10i-L30A IPDU has two 15-amp circuit breakers. The first circuit breaker controls outlets 6 through 10; the second controls outlets 1 through 5. In the event that the total current flow to outlets 6 through 10 exceeds 15 amps due to equipment connected to these outlets, the first circuit breaker will trip causing outlets 6 through 10 to shutdown.
PAGE 93
Appendices 81 will trip causing outlets 6 through 10 to shutdown. This does not affect outlets 1 through 5, which are controlled by the second circuit breaker. As the PM10i-32A has the controller powered from the line side of one of the circuit breakers, the whole unit will be inoperative only if both circuit breakers trip, but the controller will still function. When either circuit breaker trips, only the power outlets of that segment will be affected, and half of the outlets remain operative.
PAGE 94
82 Cyclades PM IPDU Installer/Administrator/User Guide When either circuit breaker trips, only the power outlets of that segment will be affected, and half of the outlets remain operative. Figure C.4: PM20i-L30A IPDU, PM20i-32A IPDU and PM20i-32Au IPDU Circuit Breakers PM20i-32A IPDU and PM20i-32Au IPDU The PM20i-32A IPDU and the PM20i-32Au IPDU have two 16-amp circuit breakers. The first circuit breaker controls outlets 11 through 20; the second controls outlets 1 through 10.
PAGE 95
Appendices 83 Circuit Breaker Trip Time Depending on the model, the Cyclades PM IPDU uses either one 10 amp, one 20 amp, two 15 amp, or two 16 amp circuit breakers. The following table shows the circuit breaker trip time for all PM IPDU models. Table C.1: Circuit Breaker Trip Time Current Load Trip Time 200% 5-30 seconds 300% 1.8-10 seconds 400% 0.9-5 seconds 500% 0.5-3.3 seconds 600% 0.38-2.3 seconds 800% 0.2-1.3 seconds 1000% 0.15-0.
