Configurable 19" Power Distribution Unit Includes Safety Functions & Emergency Stop Feature
LONDON, Sept. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- nVent Electric plc (NYSE: NVT) ("nVent"), a provider of,connection and protection solutions, today announced the addition of common North American voltages to the Rack Safety Plus line of modular safety and power distribution units designed to protect and connect electronics enclosed within 19" cabinets.
Designed in collaboration with Test and Measurement customers, these 19" slide-in units provide power entry, power distribution, and safety features that are required for operating semi- and fully automated test systems. Key features of Rack Safety Plus include configurable power outlets, input connectors, and safety functions such as an emergency power button. Updates to the new North American versions include compatibility with 120VAC or 208/240VAC input power, configurable NEMA Type 5 outlets, and c(UL)us listing (pending).
"The unique modular concept of our power distribution unit will save customers both valuable time and money," said Christian Ganninger, Global Product Manager for Embedded Systems for nVent SCHROFF. "Prior to this product, the only option available was to manufacture the components for their infrastructure themselves. This new product will not only save our customers internal development costs, but also provide them with immediate options for implementation."
Pre-Certified Solutions
Rack Safety Plus is CE-certified, with UL certification underway. Using nVent's innovative online configurator, users can customize Rack Safety Plus to fit their specific application without losing any approvals, saving customers the time and expense of additional CE/UL testing.

The emergency push button on the front of the unit features a safety circuit that meets the EN ISO 13849-1 category 3 standard. An external shut-off switch will immediately shut down electronic equipment when the emergency push button is activated. The external shut-off switch is monitored by the built-in safety relay and redundant safety switches to ensure Rack Safety Plus shuts down, even if there is a fault in the device.
Faults are displayed on the front of the unit, an external EPO can be attached to the unit, and the EPO status signal is accessible for external devices as well.
Modular and Configurable
For those customers who need a solution quickly, several common configurations are immediately available from stock.
With the launch of Rack Safety Plus in North America, nVent SCHROFF continues to support Test and Measurement customers with reliable solutions to save development time and money.
