Abstract

A module type PDU for different power supply is provided. The PDU includes: a base configured to transmit different kinds of power; and a multi socket module connected with the base to transmit one kind of power to devices plugs of which are connected to the multi socket module. Accordingly, double power supply can be achieved through a single PDU and thus a PDU installing cost can be reduced, and, as the number of PDUs is reduced, electric equipments can be simplified.

Claims

1. A PDU comprising:

a base configured to transmit different kinds of power; and

a multi socket module connected with the base to transmit one kind of power to devices plugs of which are connected to the multi socket module.

2. The PDU of claim 1, wherein, when the multi socket module is connected with the base in a first direction, the multi socket module transmits first power to the devices, and

wherein, when the multi socket module is connected with the base in a second direction, the multi socket module transmits second power to the devices.

3. The PDU of claim 2, wherein the first power is normal power, and the second power is emergency power.

4. The PDU of claim 2, wherein the base comprises:

a first output terminal configured to output the first power to the multi socket module; and

a second output terminal configured to output the second power to the multi socket module, and

wherein a display for indicating a kind of the first power is displayed around the first output terminal, and

wherein a display for indicating a kind of the second power is displayed around the second output terminal.

5. The PDU of claim 1, where a plurality of multi socket modules are connectable with the base.

6. The PDU of claim 1, wherein multi socket modules having sockets of different standards are connectable with the base.
