Lightning protection cabinet power outlet, also called surge protection PDU.
A surge, also known as a surge, is, as the name implies, an instantaneous overvoltage that exceeds the normal operating voltage.
Essentially, a surge is a violent pulse that occurs in just a few millionths of a second.
Possible causes of surges include heavy equipment, short circuits, power switching, or large engines. Products containing surge-arresting devices can effectively absorb sudden bursts of enormous energy to protect connected equipment from damage.
A surge protector, also called a signal lightning protector, is a kind of electronic device to provide safety protection for various electronic equipment, instrumentation, and communication lines. When an electrical circuit or communication line suddenly generates a spike in current or voltage due to external interference, the surge protector can conduct and shunt in a very short time, thus avoiding the damage of the surge to other equipment in the circuit.
With the development of the cloud era, the data center equipment operation needs to protect the power supply system lightning safety. The current common cabinet power socket structure, without any according and protection measures, simple function, the use high risk, when the lightning protection failure will lead to socket power down, resulting in serious losses. So if the cabinet power socket is equipped with a surge protection converter can give an alarm indication when the lightning protection fails while ensuring that the cabinet power socket will not be powered down so that some critical equipment is not allowed to power down is very necessary.
