Power Distribution Units (ePODs)
LayerZero Power Distribution Units (ePODs) Overview
Power Distribution Units (PDUs) distribute electric power to the critical load in power distribution systems. The primary purpose of LayerZero ePODs PDUs is to ensure power reliability, efficiently and safely delivering energy to critical power loads.
Designed for data centers and mission-critical applications, these units provide complete power reliability, advanced monitoring capabilities, and remote management functionality. They connect to uninterrupted power systems (UPS) devices or Static Transfer Switch (eSTS) devices, ensuring server power protection. LayerZero ePODs PDUs are designed for operator safety and feature standard InSight IR® Portholes and optional SafePanel™ Distribution. LayerZero ePODs are convection-cooled, and are nearly maintenance-free.

ePODs Increases Operator Safety in Critical Facilities
In data centers, ePODs are installed into power panels to provide selective trip coordination and circuit protection for mission-critical loads. This enhances overall safety. ePODs PDUs are designed for operator safety and feature standard InSight IR® Portholes and optional SafePanel® Distribution. With LayerZero ePODs PDUs, you can safely add additional circuit breakers to meet growing power demands. They use the LayerZero SafePanel®, a finger-safe panel board that encapsulates the circuit breaker connection in a finger-safe recessed well. The SafePanel® also features an "Arc-Free Zone" to prevent phases from cross-connecting when adding additional circuit breakers.
ePODs are Designed to Maximize Power Reliability
ePODs are designed for mission-critical environments and provide reliable, high-quality power to critical loads. They help users to quickly identify and resolve issues, thus maintaining maximum uptime. LayerZero ePODs PDUs ensure power reliability by efficiently and safely delivering energy to critical power loads. Series 70 ePODs PDUs are designed for data centers and mission-critical applications, providing complete power reliability. With a convection-cooled, fanless design, they do not require dedicated cooling and AC, ensuring long-term uptime and reliability.
Highly Connected Systems Designed for Direct Access to Information
LayerZero ePODs PDUs are equipped with web servers connecting directly into networks via open protocols like Ethernet Cable, TCP/IP, SNMP, and Modbus. With TCP/IP connectivity, ePODs can be accessed remotely via a secure connection, providing information such as panel names, metering data, and waveform capture.
Advanced Power Quality Monitoring Capabilities
ePODs incorporate advanced features such as web-enabled monitoring and control, offering enhanced visibility and control over power distribution systems. They have monitoring tools that work with System Management Software using open protocols, aiding in the management of electrical power distribution systems. PDUs with integrated Static Transfer Switches can automatically send emails following power transfers, attaching a waveform capture picture of the transfer. All LayerZero Power Systems ePODs PDUs come with Power Quality Monitoring, including real-time waveform capture and ITIC Plotting.
Flexibility and Safety in Power Capacity Expansion
LayerZero ePODs PDUs provide the flexibility to safely add additional circuit breakers to meet growing power demands. They utilize the LayerZero SafePanel®, a finger-safe panel board that encapsulates the circuit breaker connection in a finger-safe recessed well, featuring an "Arc-Free Zone" to prevent phases from cross-connecting when adding additional circuit breakers.
