Power Distribution with our PDU Outlet Boxes – Expanding Your Power Safely and Efficiently

When you need to distribute power across multiple devices—especially in demanding or high-traffic settings—a simple extension cord often falls short. That’s where AC WORKS® PDU Outlet Boxes step in. A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) transforms a single high-capacity outlet into multiple usable connections, while also incorporating essential safety features. In this blog post, we’ll explore what makes these PDU Outlet Boxes indispensable for both professional and home setups.

What Is a PDU Outlet Box?

A PDU (Power Distribution Unit) is often referred to as “one outlet to many”—it takes a single high-power input and distributes it to multiple receptacles. Our AC WORKS® PDU Outlet Boxes do exactly that, while also offering:

• GFCI Protection: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlets that cut power immediately if a ground fault is detected.
• Rugged Construction: Weatherproof and weather-sealed enclosures suitable for indoor and outdoor environments.
• ETL Listed: Assurance that the product meets stringent safety and quality standards.

Whether you’re setting up a vendor booth at a convention center, powering equipment in an industrial site, or running multiple tools off a single generator, a PDU Outlet Box can safely handle the load.

Key Features & Benefits

GFCI Outlets

GFCI outlets are designed to rapidly shut off power when they detect an imbalance in the electrical current. This protects users from potential electrical shocks and prevents damage to connected devices.

Weatherproof & Sealed

Our PDU boxes are built for the real world—meaning they can handle a range of conditions. From unexpected rain at an outdoor event to dusty industrial settings, you can trust our PDUs to keep working.

Various Breaker Options

Depending on the plug end, AC WORKS® PDU Outlet Boxes come equipped with 20 Amp or 24 Amp breakers. This allows you to match the breaker capacity to your specific power source and operational requirements, ensuring safety and compliance.

Multiple NEMA Configurations

We understand that power setups aren’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why our PDUs are available with different NEMA configurations, including:

• NEMA L14-30
• NEMA 14-50
• California Standard CS6365
• Three-Phase NEMA L21-30

Having the right NEMA configuration means you can seamlessly connect to generators, industrial outlets, and more.

Common Use Cases

• Generator Adaptation: If you have a 240V generator outlet but need multiple 120V household-style receptacles (like NEMA 5-20), a PDU Outlet Box gives you that flexibility.
• Convention Centers: Power multiple booths or displays without running dozens of extension cords. Plus, our chained ABC series makes it easy to link multiple PDUs if needed.
• Industrial Settings: Connect heavy-duty tools or specialized machinery safely off a single high-capacity outlet.
• Flood Restoration: Many restoration companies rely on these boxes to power dehumidifiers, fans, and other equipment in disaster zones.
