Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms
• Monitoring power consumption of rack-mounted equipment
• Preventing circuit overloads in IT environments
• Real-time power distribution analysis

This device may not be suitable for industrial applications requiring high-voltage three-phase power or environments where the specific IEC309-16A 2P+G connector type is not compatible with your existing power infrastructure. It is designed specifically for single-phase monitoring and should not be used for applications exceeding its 16A rated current capacity.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A
• Input voltage: 230 V (range 220–250 V)
• Connector type: IEC309-16A 2P+G
• Device type: Electronic in-line meter
• Dimensions: 178 mm x 140 mm x 44 mm

How to use

To use the APC AP7152B, simply connect the device in-line between your power source and the equipment you wish to monitor using the appropriate IEC309-16A 2P+G connections. Once connected, the device will begin measuring the current draw of the load. Ensure that the total load does not exceed the 16A rating to maintain safe operation and accurate readings.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your power source and equipment utilize the IEC309-16A 2P+G connector standard.
• Ensure the total current draw of your connected equipment does not exceed 16A.
• Check the available space in your rack or power distribution path to accommodate the device dimensions.

Usage recommendations

Regularly monitor the current readings provided by the device to establish a baseline for your equipment's power consumption and to quickly identify any unusual spikes that may indicate a hardware fault.
