Avoid the Meltdown: Your rPDU is High Temperature Rated, but Are the Components?

Over the past few years the typical ambient operating temperature in the data center environment has increased. Operating a data center at a raised temperature is intended to decrease cooling costs and increase power efficiency. A data center will achieve an estimated 4% operational savings from cooling expense for every 1°C increase in operating temperature1. In response to the increased operational temperature requirements for data centers, many manufacturers of rack power distribution units (rPDUs) have begun to increase the ambient operating temperature limits on their products to 60°C.
