Vertiv Geist rPDU Metered Outlet-Level 17.3kW 3PH 415V

The Vertiv Geist rPDU Metered Outlet-Level (VP8N31A6) is a high-density, three-phase rack power distribution unit engineered to deliver 17.3 kW at 415V across a 32A per-phase input, providing granular per-outlet current metering for environments where precise power visibility is operationally critical. The unit combines branch-circuit and individual outlet-level measurement, enabling data center operators to track load in real time without deploying additional inline meters or external monitoring hardware.

Designed specifically for GPU compute clusters, AI/ML training racks, and high-performance computing deployments, the VP8N31A6 supports outlet-level switching control alongside metering, allowing remote power cycling of individual connected devices—a capability that reduces the need for physical on-site intervention during fault recovery or firmware refresh cycles. The intelligent monitoring subsystem communicates over a dedicated network management interface, integrating with Vertiv's Environet or third-party DCIM platforms via SNMP, Modbus, and RESTful API protocols.

The unit ships in a vertically mounted, zero-U form factor suitable for standard 600mm or 800mm wide open-frame and enclosed racks. With a three-phase input configuration and individually monitored IEC C13 and C19 outlets, the VP8N31A6 addresses power density requirements common in colocation suites, hyperscale edge deployments, and enterprise private cloud infrastructure where per-outlet accountability, capacity planning accuracy, and remote operability are non-negotiable operational requirements.

Ideal for

• GPU cluster power management: per-outlet metering enables precise load balancing across multiple high-draw GPU servers to prevent circuit overloads during sustained AI training workloads
• Colocation tenant billing and chargeback: outlet-level kWh logging provides the granular consumption data required to support accurate per-rack or per-device billing models
• Remote power cycling for diskless or PXE-boot nodes: outlet-level switching allows operations teams to reboot individual compute nodes without dispatching technicians to the data hall
• Capacity planning and power forecasting: real-time three-phase branch and outlet current data feeds DCIM dashboards to model headroom and schedule infrastructure expansions accurately
• High-density HPC and storage rack management: the 17.3 kW three-phase input supports fully populated racks of NVMe all-flash arrays or dense CPU/GPU blade systems exceeding typical single-phase PDU limits
• Compliance and audit readiness: time-stamped outlet-level energy records support internal IT governance reviews and external compliance audits requiring documented power consumption histories
