Just one gotcha: they use a T90 relay in these, and I've never seen a T90 relay rated over 28VDC (They switch high voltage AC just fine, but not DC). Plus most T90 relays have a high minimum load (0;5A or 1A), which may not be a problem. On Tue, Jul 12, 2016 at 12:44 AM, Josh Reynolds

I asked Forrest about doing a -48 version of the 5ch PDU. He said it would need some tweaking since the PDU itself is powered by the main input, kinda like a SyncInjector. Depending on your current, you could use a regular 4-relay exp. module to switch the hot wire for each device. Should be

Is there a relatively cheap device that can take 48v in and switch a handful of -48vdc loads on and off? I'm thinking like $100-200 kind of cheap. Small and DIN mount would be best. The packetflux PDU has a negative ground, so that's already out.

The pdu was designed to be able to be built for neg48 as well, but relies on expansion bus power to power it. This means that if you reboot the base unit, the pdu and the devices attached to it will also reboot. There are some messy ways we can bring this power in to avoid this. Because of

Not to get off topic here, but the two 5ch PDUs I just got show 35.5-ish volts on the master input... with no supply connected. And the status LED doesn't flash like it normally would if it sees no/low voltage on the master. Seems strange. Are these bad or should I just not worry about it?

I'm 99% sure that this reading was working before as well, or at least at some point. I am very particular about checking the overcurrent protection on these so I can pretty much guarantee that is fine. The voltage is sort of a 'bonus feature' so I'm a bit less particular about it - but I know
