Abstract
According to various aspects and embodiments, a power distribution unit (PDU) is provided. The power distribution unit includes an input configured to receive input power, a plurality of outputs each coupled to the input and configured to receive input power, and each output of the plurality of outputs having an output configured to provide output power, and a controller coupled to the plurality of outputs and configured to determine a plurality of time intervals based on a frequency of the input power, measure a current at each time interval of the plurality of time intervals for each output of the plurality of outputs, generate a plurality of current measurement sums based on current measurement values associated with each time interval of the plurality of time intervals, and determine a root-mean-square (RMS) value based on the plurality of current measurement sums.
