Frequently Asked Questions - AP6031A APC

What type of plug does the APC AP6031A use?

The AP6031A uses a NEMA L6-30P twist-lock plug. It requires a matching receptacle rated for 30 A at 200–240 VAC.

Can I plug the AP6031A into a standard wall outlet?

No, the AP6031A is designed for high-power equipment and uses a NEMA L6-30P plug, which is not compatible with standard household outlets. You need a dedicated circuit with a L6-30R receptacle.

What is the maximum load per C19 outlet?

Each C19 outlet can supply up to 16 A (UL/C-UL derated) or 20 A (PSE) depending on local regulations. The total phase current must not exceed 30 A (24 A derated).

How do I mount the AP6031A in a rack?

The unit is designed for horizontal or vertical rack mounting using the included mounting brackets. It occupies 1U of rack space (43.81 mm height). Secure it with screws to the rack rails.

Is the AP6031A surge protected?

The AP6031A is a basic PDU without surge protection. It provides overcurrent protection via internal circuit breakers but does not protect against voltage spikes.

What is the cord length of the AP6031A?

The power cord is 3.65 meters (12 feet) long, terminating with a NEMA L6-30P plug.

Does the AP6031A have a circuit breaker?

Yes, it has two 20 A, 2-pole circuit breakers for overcurrent protection on the outputs.

What are the operating temperature limits?

The AP6031A operates within 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F). Storage temperature range is -15°C to 60°C (5°F to 140°F).

Is the AP6031A compatible with 208V systems?

Yes, the AP6031A accepts input voltages from 200–240 VAC, so it is fully compatible with 208V systems.

How should I clean the AP6031A?

Disconnect the unit and wipe with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. Check ventilation openings for dust buildup periodically.
