The Expert Power Control 8045 is a high-performance 12-outlet switched and outlet-metered PDU designed to maximize uptime, security, and energy efficiency in professional 19-inch IT and AV installations. With individually switchable and metered outlets, comprehensive environmental monitoring, and advanced automation capabilities, the EPC 8045 enables administrators to proactively manage power consumption, quickly resolve issues, and maintain the highest levels of service availability.
Available as the 8045-1 with 12 IEC C13 outlets and the 8045-2 with 12 locking IEC C13 outlets, the unit provides precise per-outlet measurements of current, voltage, frequency, phase angle, power factor, active, apparent, and reactive power. Each outlet features dual energy counters—one permanent and one resettable—facilitating detailed energy analysis and billing. Optional differential current monitoring (Type A or Type B) and two plug-and-play environmental sensor ports support proactive detection of electrical and environmental hazards.
The EPC 8045 offers powerful switching and automation functions, including event- and schedule-based control, programmable remote reboots, and a 12-channel watchdog system capable of automatically restarting unresponsive devices. Sequential switch-on and Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) minimize inrush currents, while adjustable startup delays ensure orderly power restoration after outages.
Security is comprehensive, featuring Type 3 surge protection, high-inrush relays, TLS/SSL and SSH encryption, IP access control, password protection, and IEEE 802.1X network authentication. Alarms and status notifications can be delivered via e-mail, syslog, SNMP traps, MQTT, SSH, and Telnet. An integrated LED display, hot firmware updates, and browser-based management simplify operation and maintenance.
