Tame-Test's secure single-phase Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a sequential power distribution box that supplies the test bench and its measuring instruments with AC power and ensures constant temperature monitoring in the rack. This 2U rack-mountable drawer can be perfectly integrated into a standard 19" test bay.
It allows, in particular:
- To facilitate the power distribution of all the test bench components, the measuring instruments such as an oscilloscope or multimeter, or any utility line power supply
- To limit the high current inrush when the bench is powered up and to avoid untimely short-circuits when several loads are switched on in the test equipment (up to 12 simultaneously), thanks to a sequential start-up per block of 4 sockets
- To ensure the operational safety of the users thanks to two dry contact thermostat inputs allowing a pre-alarm and a cut-off of the output sockets
- To cut off the inverter that may be present in the test bench, thanks to the emergency stop

Technical Functionalities
The secure single-phase 19'' PDU rack is:
- Easy to install
- CE certified
- Secure
It distributes power sequentially to any standard 19" test equipment and has an emergency shutdown and alert system linked to bench temperature monitoring (configurable alert thresholds).
Sequential Power-up
The powering up of the outlets is done according to the following scenario:
Test Bench Temperature Monitoring
A light indicates the status of the temperature in the test bench in real time according to the following color code:
- When the light is green: the temperature is below the first threshold. All the outlets are activated.
- When the light is orange: the temperature is between the first and the second threshold. All outlets are activated.
- When the light is red: the temperature is above the second threshold. All the outlets are deactivated.
The temperature thresholds are pre-set by the integrator.
Secure Power Supply for Test Equipment
The PDU functionalities allow for:
- Bench safety
- Safety of the operator
- Safety of the Units Under Test (UUT)
