1. Introduction
Tripp Lite's SUDC208V42P Power Distribution Center accepts 3-phase input power from 120/208V, 20-60kVA UPS systems
and distributes single-phase and 3-phase output power to your data center's equipment racks. Power distribution through
individual breakers and corresponding cord sets maximizes flexibility, balances critical loads and provides branch circuit over-
current protection.
2. Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
All sections of this manual contain instructions and warnings that must be followed during the
installation and operation of the product described in this manual. Read ALL instructions before
attempting to move, install or wire this product. Failure to comply may invalidate the warranty and
cause serious property damage and/or personal injury.
Location Warnings
• Install the Distribution Center in a controlled indoor environment, away from moisture, temperature extremes, flammable
liquids and gasses, conductive contaminants, dust and direct sunlight.
• Operate the Distribution Center at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (0° C and 40° C) only.
• Allow adequate clearance around the Distribution Center for ventilation, maintenance and easy access to internal devices.
Do not block, cover or insert objects into the external ventilation openings.
• Do not place any object on the Distribution Center, especially containers of liquid.
• Do not attempt to stack the Distribution Center. Attempting to stack the Distribution Center may cause permanent damage
and create a potential for serious personal injury.
• For emergency use, install a fire extinguisher rated for energized electrical equipment fires (Class C rating or exact
equivalent, with a non-conductive extinguishing agent) near the Distribution Center.
Installation Warnings
• The Distribution Center is designed to hold its pre-installed breaker box only. Do NOT attempt to install rack equipment
inside the Distribution Center.
• The Distribution Center is extremely heavy. Use caution when handling the Distribution Center. Do not attempt to unpack,
move or install it unassisted. Use a mechanical device such as a forklift or pallet jack to move the Distribution Center in the
shipping container.
• Inspect the shipping container and the Distribution Center for shipping damage. If you determine that the Distribution
Center has been damaged during shipping, or if anything appears to be missing, contact Tripp Lite for assistance. Do not
use the Distribution Center if it is damaged.
• Leave the Distribution Center in the shipping container until it has been moved as close to the final installation location as
possible. The casters are designed for minor position adjustments within the final installation area only. The casters are not
designed for moving over longer distances.
• The casters are not designed to provide long-term support for the Distribution Center after final installation. Use the levelers
to provide long-term support.
• Install the Distribution Center in a structurally sound area with a level floor that is able to bear the weight of the Distribution
Center and any other equipment that will be installed nearby.
• Do not push the Distribution Center from the side panels to move it. Pushing from the side panels will cause a tipping hazard.
• When rolling the Distribution Center on its casters, always push it from behind, never pull it toward you.
• A rolling Distribution Center can cause personal injury and property damage if not properly supervised. If rolling the Distribution
Center down a ramp is required, use extreme caution. Do not attempt to use ramps that have a slope steeper than 1:12.
• Do not tilt the Distribution Center or lay it on its side.
• Use caution when cutting packing materials. The Distribution Center could be scratched, causing damage not covered by
the warranty.
