August 24, 2004 by Jeff Shepard

MGE UPS Systems Inc. (Costa Mesa, CA), a leader in high-availability power solutions to the industrial, telecom and IT markets, introduced the new Pulsar family of power distribution units (PDUs) that offer flexible mounting options, numerous input plug/output receptacle choices and configurations that include a convenient maintenance bypass switch.

Designed for MGE’s Pulsar line of uninterruptible power systems (UPS) with power ratings from 500 VA to 3,200 VA, the new PDUs are fully compatible with any UPS sporting an appropriate output receptacle. A selection of standard input plugs and line cords ensures easy configuration as well as simple plug-and-play installation, while the slim 2U (3.5 in) form factor is suitable for mounting in 19 in equipment racks (both front and rear), telecom racks or any convenient wall-mount space.

Along with the wide selection of standard NEMA 120 Vac input plugs and output receptacles ranging from 15 A to 30 A, the Pulsar PDU family also features models with a choice of front or rear access for input and output line cords. In addition, the PDU models incorporate dual circuit breakers for optimum performance and reliability and a 7.5 ft (2.29 m) line cord for easy installation; while the MBS model has a 10 ft (3.04 m) utility input line cord and a 6 ft (1.82 m) cord to connect to the UPS.

Available now with list prices starting at $365, the new models meet worldwide standards for safety and performance, including UL and cUL. Other options include models that can accommodate high voltage (200 Vac, 220 Vac, 230 Vac and 240 Vac) input and output with a selection of IEC standard plugs and receptacles.
