Re: Need help wiring up 240VAC.
I cannot find any information on inrush current for the PDU. The PDU is an HPE G2 Switched Horizontal 7300VA model #: P9S16A
The tech datasheet is just kind of a generic datasheet that lists all their PDUs and quick specs, there doesn't seem to be one specific for this PDU, and it doesn't list in-rush current at all.
Because we have a daughter who will eventually be going down in the basement, I think something with a cover would be a good idea. Sooner or later, she'll notice the plug, and hopefully, she'll be at the age where she'll know not to mess with it. However, having a cover I don't think would ever hurt. So long as I don't have to change the plug that comes from the PDU.
So, I'm thinking the reason they used the IP44 32A plug was because it could safely handle the in-rush current. I believe a company like HP Enterprise would have thought of all that stuff. This isn't one of those cheaper type PDUs made by some teenagers or something.
I think we can safely assume that a wire that is capable of handling 32A would be what this unit was designed for. That would mean I'd need 8/3 wire, right? And then the IP44 that Stj linked me too....but I still need some sort of gang box to attach it to the cement wall....some sort of enclosure, unless these things are meant to be attached directly to the cement walls, and not put in a gang box, then I just need the conduit.
For the breaker, a double pole 45-amp is what I need, right?
