AP8653 PDU - C13 and C19 phase/neutral pin position

Hello,

We want to install high speed monitoring system on several AP8653 PDU, and we need to know the cabling of the C13 and C19 sockets of this PDU, ie the earth being in the middle, on the bottom, does the live (phase) pin appear on the left or on the right pin of the C13 ?  We do not know if the way of cabling C13 and C19 is standard and we currently have no access to the site to check this by measuring the earth-pin voltages (should be around 240V between earth and live (phase), and near 0V between earth and neutral). Can anyone help ?

Other question: are the C13 on AP8653 compatible with IEC-LOCK extension cords ?

Thks, Pierre

Hi Pierre,

Here's a wiring diagram for the AP8653, which shows the orientation of the phase/neutral lines in relation to the ground: https://www.apc.com/salestools/SCUA-8E6NEX/SCUA-8E6NEX_R1_EN.pdf

Our rack PDU's are only supported with our own locking power cords, example here: https://www.apc.com/shop/us/en/products/Power-Cord-Kit-6-ea-Locking-C13-to-C14-1-8m-North-America/P-...

Thanks a lot Matt !

I imagine I should assume the orientation of the lines in the wiring diagram is a front view of the C13/C19 sockets ?
