BN ESSENTIAL Metered 16/3p Rack PDU – 24x C13 & 6x Schuko for Server Rack & Data Center
The Bachmann BN ESSENTIAL Metered PDU is a powerful and flexible solution for professional power distribution in the server rack and data center. With a 3-phase input (16A / 400V / 11 kW) and a well-designed combination of 24x C13 IEC outlets and 6x Schuko sockets (CEE 7/3), it offers maximum connectivity variety for a wide range of IT and infrastructure components. This combination makes the PDU particularly attractive for mixed IT environments where, in addition to classic servers, peripherals, network components or additional hardware with Schuko plugs are used. This eliminates the need for additional adapters or external power distributors, simplifying installation and increasing operational safety.
The load distribution across three phases ensures even utilization of the power supply and enables efficient use of the available power. This is a decisive advantage in modern data centers with high power density to avoid overloads and optimize energy use. Thanks to the 3 meter supply cable with CEE 16A plug (red), the PDU is flexible to use and quick to install. The vertical mounting (0U) saves valuable rack space, leaving more room for active IT components.

Why is a 3-phase rack PDU with protective-earth (Schuko) particularly flexible?
The Bachmann BN ESSENTIAL Metered Rack PDU combines powerful 3-phase power distribution with an especially flexible range of connections. In modern data centers and IT infrastructures it is often no longer sufficient to provide only C13 or C19 outlets. Many devices such as routers, monitoring systems, KVM solutions or auxiliary hardware use standard Schuko plugs (protective-earth plugs). By integrating 6x CEE 7/3 sockets alongside 24x C13 outlets, a wide variety of devices can be connected directly. This significantly reduces the need for adapters and additional power strips and ensures a clean, safe and clear installation in the server rack.
What advantages does 3-phase power distribution offer in the data center?
With a feed of 16A at 400V and a total power of up to 11 kW, this PDU enables efficient energy distribution across three phases. The even load distribution ensures that individual phases are not overloaded and that the available power is used optimally. This is particularly crucial in high-density server environments to ensure a stable power supply. At the same time efficiency is increased because energy losses are reduced and resources are better utilized.
How does energy monitoring support operations?
The integrated phase measurement provides detailed data on current, voltage, power values and energy consumption. This information is essential for analyzing and specifically optimizing infrastructure utilization. Operators can detect load peaks early and respond accordingly. In addition, continuous monitoring enables better planning of expansions and helps to reduce operating costs in the long term. Energy monitoring is therefore an important component of modern data center strategies.
How is the PDU integrated into existing IT environments?
The Bachmann BN ESSENTIAL Metered - 16/5p Rack PDU with 24xC13, 6xCEE7/3 & Display (BM0024224) features an integrated web server and supports SNMP, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into existing monitoring and management systems. All relevant data can be monitored and evaluated centrally. With two Gigabit Ethernet ports a reliable network connection is ensured. Additionally, USB and sensor interfaces offer extra expansion options, for example for temperature monitoring. The integrated TFT display also enables direct control at the rack. Through this combination of flexible power distribution, powerful network connectivity and precise monitoring, the PDU is ideally suited for use in professional IT environments.
