| 摘要 |
The present disclosure relates to a power distribution unit (PDU) having at least one power receptacle for enabling attachment of an AC power cord of an external device thereto. A branch receptacle controller (BRC) has at least one bistable relay and is associated with the one power receptacle for supplying AC power thereto from an AC power source. The BRC monitors a parameter of a line voltage and uses it to detect when AC power is lost, and then toggles the bistable relay, if the relay is in a closed position, to an open position. A rack power distribution unit controller (RPDUC) monitors the bistable relay and commands the BRC to close the bistable relay after AC power is restored. |
