Power distribution module APC PDM3532IEC-800 — 3‑pole 5‑wire, 32A IEC309 input/output, 400V

APC PDM3532IEC-800 is a factory-assembled power distribution module designed to deliver three‑phase power safely to IT and industrial equipment. The unit uses a 3‑pole, 5‑wire topology with IEC 309 32A 3P+N+PE input and an IEC 309 32A output, rated for a nominal voltage of 400 V and a maximum input current of 32 A per phase. The module includes a single 3‑pole circuit breaker, integrated power connection and an 800 cm output cable. It is intended for use with modular PDUs and supports automatic detection by compatible Modular PDU systems to simplify installation.

Advantages

The module is factory tested and assembled, which reduces deployment time and minimizes wiring errors. Its IEC 309 32A 3P+N+PE connectors provide a standardized interface for three‑phase power distribution in data centers and industrial locations. Inclusion of a 3‑pole breaker offers overcurrent protection for connected equipment, while the long 800 cm output cable provides flexible placement options within racks or equipment rooms.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Distributing three‑phase 400 V power to PDUs and server racks
• Temporary or permanent power connections in data center and industrial environments
• Integrating with Modular PDU systems that support auto‑detection of modules
• Applications requiring a standardized IEC 309 32A three‑phase connection

When it may not be suitable

This module is not suitable where single‑phase distribution or lower amperage connections are required, since it is designed for three‑phase 32 A circuits. It may also be inappropriate when local regulations or site installation standards require different connector types or additional protective devices not included with the module.

How to use

Install the APC PDM3532IEC-800 into a compatible Modular PDU chassis or connect it to equipment using the IEC 309 32A input and output. Ensure the upstream supply matches the module’s nominal 400 V three‑phase specification and that the maximum input current does not exceed 32 A per phase. After physical connection, verify that the module is auto‑detected by the Modular PDU (if applicable) and confirm circuit breaker settings. Route the 800 cm output cable to the destination equipment, secure connections and perform standard electrical safety checks before energizing the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your site uses three‑phase 400 V power and requires IEC 309 32A connectors
• Verify compatibility with your Modular PDU or rack power infrastructure and auto‑detection support
• Check local electrical codes and whether additional protection or grounding measures are required
• Ensure a 32 A per phase capacity is appropriate for the connected load

Usage recommendations

Use the module within a properly installed electrical distribution system and have connections performed by qualified personnel. Regularly inspect the circuit breaker and connectors, and ensure the connected load does not exceed the specified 32 A per phase rating to maintain safe operation.
