301. ysically attached to any outlets or lines it is likely some Dominion PX models still show non zero current or active power readings for the inlet in the web interface and or LED display This section explains why a PDU shows these readings when there are no loads attached e The PDU shows non zero current readings Reason The current readings reflect the power consumption of the PDU s meter and controller boards This is because the measurements are taken at the input lines to the PDU e The PDU shows zero current readings while showing non zero active power readings Reason When no loads are connected the PDU shows its own power consumption usually a very low single digit number such as 2 3W Power consumption varies depending on the rated voltage For example the active power reading shows 3W for 240V but 6W for 120V The PDU displays the current readings at the minimum of 1 10th of an ampere such as 1 1A 10 2A and the like Without any loads attached the current reading may show 0 0A because the current value is rounded off when the actual current value is below 1 10th of an ampere For example the actual current value for the 3W 240V case is 0 0125A which is shown as 0 0A after being rounded up to the 1 10th of an ampere Note In this scenario the active power reading for the inlet shows zero in the LED display which is inconsistent with the corresponding reading shown in the web interface 285 Index 1 1U Prod
