208V / 240V to 120V Rack-Mount Power Distribution (6 kVA / 6 kW)
The XPD-IT60A step-down isolation transformer PDU is a rack-mount power distribution solution designed to safely convert 208V or 240V input power into clean, isolated 120V output for IT, AV, broadcast, laboratory, and edge computing environments.
As modern racks increasingly adopt 208V and 240V UPS architectures, many installations still rely on 120V-only equipment. The XPD-IT60A bridges that gap inside the rack—eliminating floor-standing transformers, custom wiring, and improvised power strips—while improving safety, power quality, and deployment consistency.

Head-end rack environments where clean, isolated power is required for sensitive equipment
Turn 208V or 240V UPS Power Into Clean, Isolated 120V—Inside the Rack
Designed specifically for UPS-backed racks, the XPD-IT60A enables a professional power architecture where voltage conversion and isolation are handled at the rack level, not on the floor or behind the cabinet.
This approach is ideal for mixed-voltage racks supporting networking, AV, broadcast, test equipment, and edge infrastructure that require reliable 120V power downstream of a 208V or 240V source.
What the XPD-IT60A Solves
- Converts 208V or 240V input power to isolated 120V output
- Eliminates external step-down transformers and ad-hoc power solutions
- Protects sensitive electronics from upstream noise, grounding issues, and disturbances
- Supports high-density 120V loads directly inside the rack
- Standardizes mixed-voltage deployments across sites and locations
Why Engineers Specify the XPD-IT60A
- True step-down isolation transformer (not an auto-transformer)
- Transformer-derived outputs — no pass-through connections
- Selectable secondary voltages to match site and regional requirements
- High outlet density for IT, AV, broadcast, and test equipment
- Rack-mountable 2U design with optional hardware for 2-post or 4-post racks
- Built-in resettable circuit breaker protection for downstream loads
The XPD-IT60A is purpose-built for applications where power quality, safety, and clean rack design are critical.
XPD-IT60A 6 kVA isolation transformer PDU designed to deliver clean, isolated power to rack-mounted loads
Voltage Options & Power Conversion
Input → Output Configurations
| Input Voltage | Selectable Output Voltage |
| 208V (L6-30P) | 240/120V or 208/104V |
| 240V (L6-30P) | 240/120V |
Important:
The NEMA L6-30R output is transformer-derived, ensuring electrical isolation from the upstream power source.
Output Configuration
- (12) NEMA 5-15/20R outlets for standard 120V equipment
- (1) NEMA L6-30R transformer-derived output
- Supports common 5-15P and 5-20P plugs
This configuration supports dense 120V loads without external power strips or additional PDUs.
Designed for UPS-Backed Racks
The XPD-IT60A is typically installed downstream of a 208V or 240V online UPS, creating a clean and protected power path:
Utility or Generator → Online UPS → XPD-IT60A → 120V IT & AV Loads
This architecture is widely used in IDF closets, broadcast racks, labs, and edge deployments, where a centralized UPS protects upstream power while the XPD-IT60A safely steps down and isolates 120V distribution inside the rack.
Commonly paired UPS platforms include:
- Line-interactive UPS systems such as the
P80g-5000 5 kVA rack-mount UPS - Online (double-conversion) UPS systems such as the
P91 Series 5–10 kVA UPS
Typical Applications
The XPD-IT60A is ideal for mixed-voltage rack environments where 208V or 240V power must safely support standard 120V equipment:
- IT & Network Racks
IDF and edge closets using 208/240V UPS systems with 120V networking, security, or Wi-Fi equipment
(see rack-mount power and UPS solutions) - Broadcast & Pro AV Racks
Powering switchers, encoders, monitors, control systems, and peripherals requiring clean, isolated 120V - Edge Computing & Remote Sites
Compact, standardized step-down power conversion for distributed or unmanned deployments
(see power solutions for edge and distributed environments) - Labs & Test Environments
Isolated 120V power for sensitive instruments and development equipment - Generator or Utility Step-Down Scenarios
Safe 120V distribution during outages, maintenance, or temporary power events - UPS-Protected Power Chains
Centralized UPS protection upstream with rack-level voltage conversion and isolation downstream
Add Visibility and Control with Smart PDUs (Optional)
For applications requiring outlet-level monitoring, metering, or remote power control, the XPD-IT60A can be paired downstream with
Smart PDUs with outlet-level monitoring and switching.
This combination enables:
- Remote power cycling of IT and AV devices
- Load monitoring at the rack or outlet level
- Improved visibility and control in unmanned or distributed sites
Together, the XPD-IT60A and Smart PDUs form a complete rack power solution: clean, isolated 120V power plus intelligent control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I feed the XPD-IT60A from a 208V UPS and power 120V loads?
Yes. With 208V input, the unit provides selectable 240/120V or 208/104V output.
Is the L6-30R output pass-through?
No. The L6-30R output is transformer-derived, not a direct pass-through from the input source.
Does the unit require hardwiring?
No. The XPD-IT60A is plug-in only and includes a pre-attached 3 ft NEMA L6-30P input cord.
How much rack space is required?
The XPD-IT60A occupies 2U when installed using optional 2-post or 4-post rack mounting kits.
