Power Fundamentals
Power Distribution Unit distributes power from upstream electrical infrastructure to racks, cabinets, or downstream panels. In data centers, PDU design affects branch-circuit capacity, metering, redundancy, maintenance, and how IT load is allocated across power paths.
Distribution utility owns or operates lower-voltage delivery facilities serving end users. For data centers, the distribution utility may handle service requests even when transmission upgrades or wholesale supply issues drive the real constraint.
