I'm in the process of fixing this. The medusa cards, and the new polarity agnostic cards for the rackinjector don't care. This technology will make it back into the PDU's.
With the wiring arrangement we have today, the total 8A limit will likely remain when arranged with a single input going to 5 outputs (the connectors are only rated up to 8A). We will likely release a couple of other arrangements as well, likely including a 6 port 'current limited switch' version which should do several amps per switch, with each switch isolated from the others so we won't care what voltage each switches. I'm also thinking that it might make sense to do a single pole switching unit where you have 2 inputs each going to 5 outputs each, but with ground not passing through the unit. Each input would still be limited to 8A. On Wed, Jan 31, 2018 at 2:10 PM, Adam Moffett <[email protected]> wrote: > Careful. Packetflux PDU can't do positive ground. So no -48.
