Abstract
Power distribution systems having a bi-directional link for delivery of power between each other are disclosed. According to an aspect, a PDU includes a first power inlet configured to receive electric power from a power source. The PDU includes a second power inlet configured to receive electric power from another power distribution unit. The PDU also include an electric power router configured to determine whether the power source is in a fault condition for delivering electric power to the first power inlet. Further, the electric power router is configured to communicatively engage the other PDU for managing receipt of electric power from the other PDU based on the fault condition. The electric power router is configured to receive, at the second power inlet, electric power from the other PDU. The electric power router is also configured to route, to power outlets, the electric power received from the other PDU.
