Circuit breaker trip time

Depending on the model, the PM IPDU uses either one 10 amp, one 20 amp, two 15 amp, or two 16 amp circuit breakers. Table C.5 shows the circuit breaker trip time for all PM IPDU models except the PM42 IPDU.

Table C.5: 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%	0.15-0.9 seconds

Table C.6: PM42 IPDU Shutdown Time

Current Load	Complete Shutdown Time

> 32A on any single phase	3.5 seconds

CAUTION: Do not pull a plug with a live electrical load from an outlet on the PM IPDU. This can cause damage to your equipment. The off command provides a means to safely turn off the power to the selected outlet before pulling the plug from the outlet.
