A6440A HP In-Line Power Connector for Superdome PDCA

A6440A is the in-line power connector for the power distribution control assembly (PDCA) of the HP Integrity Superdome sx1000 and sx2000. It comes in two options. Option 401 is the 200-240 VAC, 60/63 A, 3-phase, 4-wire connector, and option 501 is the 200-240 VAC, 30/32 A, 3-phase, 5-wire connector. The spare connectors are 1253-8007 for the 60/63 A, 4-wire type and 1253-8008 for the 30/32 A, 5-wire type.

Option 401 is the mating connector for A5800A PDCA option 006, a 3-phase, 4-wire, phase-to-phase unit for 200-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. That PDCA arrives with a 2.5 meter UL power cord and an approved plug, the Mennekes ME 460P9 (3-phase, 4-wire, 60 A, 250 V, blue, IEC 309-1). The in-line connector for it is the Mennekes ME 460C9, and an electrician must hardwire it to 60 A/63 A site power: 60 A in the U.S.A. and 63 A in Europe.

Option 501 is the mating connector for A5800A PDCA option 007, a 3-phase, 5-wire, phase-to-neutral unit for 200-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. It arrives with a 2.5 meter power cord and a VDE-approved plug, the Mennekes ME 532P6-14 (3-phase, 5-wire, 32 A, 450/475 V, red, IEC 309-2). The mating in-line connector is hardwired to 30 A/32 A site power: 30 A in the U.S.A. and 32 A in Europe.

Without an A6440A, the customer must provide the mating in-line connector. A dedicated branch is required for each PDCA installed, and a qualified electrician must wire the in-line connector to site power with copper wire in compliance with local codes.
