Hey guys, I've got electricians coming out this week to hopefully upgrade my main panel.

Does anyone here use PDUs and have any suggestions for them? Worth it? Or more worth just running outlets?

I prefer the Tripp Lite metered PDUs for my 220v 20A circuits. I prefer PDUs for the placement flexibility. I use the one below but do have other unmetered PDUs from them. The unmetered ones are cheaper but I like being able to quickly glance at the amp load.

Thanks for your response. This is the one I'm currently looking at: https://www.tripplite.com/5-5.8kw-single-phase-metered-pdu-208-240v-outlets-6-c19-24-c13-l6-30p-10ft-cord-0u-vertical~PDUMV30HV

My thinking is that the 10a extra will allow about 4-5 1200w-1600w PSUs plugged in and then balance out their consumption with the meter.

At 20a it does not seem cost effective.. it seems that just running a single gangbox outlet with 4 plugs would be best then, as those 4 outlets can easily provide the max draw.
