The receptacle is a NEMA 10-30 3-prong. I know not the voltage, but the electrician should be able to test it. I am having him install a new outlet. My concern is, if the 30AMP circuit currently has high enough voltage, are all PDUs derated to 24AMPs? If so, how would 24 AMPs be enough? Do they make 30AMP rated PDUs? What if I had the electrician install a 40AMP breaker? Would I need a higher AMP PDU? Sorry, but I am new to all of this and don't want to fry my investment, or my house.

stop over thinking.

the 30 amp circuit can do 24 amps that is why the pdu's derate to 24 amp to protect the 30 amp circuit breaker

and the 30 amp circuit breaker is in there to protect the wire and the outlet.

so:

A) leave the 30 amp circuit breaker alone
B) leave the wire alone
C) put in this outlet
