Development of a Basic Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Test Jig

Abstract

Power Distribution Units (PDUs) are critical components in electrical and industrial systems, ensuring efficient power management, distribution, and protection. However, verifying their operational integrity necessitates a robust and standardized testing framework. This paper presents the design and implementation of a Basic PDU Test Jig, developed to assess key performance parameters, including continuity validation, load capacity testing, and electrical reliability analysis. The proposed testing architecture integrates advanced methodologies to systematically evaluate electrical connectivity, fault tolerance, and compliance with regulatory safety standards. The study further explores the impact of different configurations on the performance of PDUs, ensuring adaptability across varied industrial applications. By providing a structured approach to PDU validation, this work contributes to the development of a scalable and cost-efficient testing paradigm, enhancing the reliability and safety of power distribution systems.
