Our ACWORKS PDU outlet boxes have been a hit every season and one of the most common questions we get is:

Can you use them in the snow?AC WORKS® S1450PDU

The answer is yes, you absolutely can.

Our PDU outlet boxes are designed with multiple safety features that make them suitable for outdoor use, even in snowy conditions.

5-20R GFCI outlets.

1. They feature GFCI outlets.

- A GFCI, or ground-fault circuit interrupter, helps protect you from electrical shock by shutting off power if it detects an imbalance in electrical current.

2. They come with plug covers.
 

- Any outlet that isn’t in use should always remain covered to help prevent moisture from getting inside.

3. The sealed body design.


 - Our PDU outlet boxes are fully sealed around the housing, which is why they’re rated for outdoor use.

 

That said, when it’s actively snowing, it’s important to take a few extra precautions.

Make sure your plug is fully inserted and flush with the outlet.

And if you’re only using one outlet, use a protective outlet cover on the unused one to keep snow and moisture out.

With the right setup and a few simple precautions, ACWORKS PDU outlet boxes can be safely used even in the snow. Shop ACWORKS.com for all of your AC Power Needs.
