1—Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase! Power Innovations strongly believes in the durability and quality of its products. The
company hopes this product will serve you well for a long time.
1.1—Product Overview
The Chameleon™100 is a product family of 19-inch rack mounted transformers that provide power distribution and
monitoring in a data center environment. They are designed to save space and cost by replacing separate transformer
racks and Power Distribution Units (PDUs). They are based on a 100-kVA rated auto transformer that fits in a 6U (10.5
inch) 19-inch rack space. They are particularly useful in 480 VAC data centers that want to maintain their existing input
power infrastructure but move to newer 240 VAC servers.
1.1.1—Key Product Features
•Power conversion
•Power Distribution Unit (PDU) replacement customized to customer requirements
•Full downstream protection with secondary PDU breakers
•Remote input power monitoring
•Comprehensive TVSS surge suppression
•Extended product life
1.1.2—Key Product Specs for Current Models
•Input: 480/277 VAC three phase Wye or some other appropriate three phase input
•Output: A combination of 240 VAC single phase, 415/240 three phase and 480/277 VAC three phase
that fit within the power limitations of the unit.
•Output Receptacles: Both individual receptacles and/or bulk receptacles that fit within the power budget
of the unit. Each receptacle has its own branch rated circuit protection.
•Input Power Monitoring: Remote monitoring of voltage, amperage, power factor, power quality etc.
•Over Temperature: Provides warnings prior to thermal safety shutoff.

1.1.3—125-Amp Model vs 100-Amp Model
The Chameleon™100 currently comes in three variations: the Chameleon100-125J21A1A (125A), which requires
a j-box, and the Chameleon100-100P21A00 or Chameleon100-100P21A1A (100A), each of which uses an input
plug (see Section 4—Product Specifications).
Additional models with different input and outputs options have been defined but are not covered in this manual.
Different size units based on other transformers have also been defined but are not covered in this manual.
Please contact Power Innovations for more information on other models.
1.1.4—Safety Features
•Short circuit protection
•Over-temperature warnings and shutdown (see 3.2.1—Temperature Monitoring)
1.2—Using This Manual

1.3—Conventions Used in This Manual
To make this manual easier to read, several formatting conventions have been adopted.
1.3.1—Breaker Positions
Because some breakers share names with its subsystems or operation modes, breakers and their positions will
be identified using all caps. Additionally, the words ON and OFF are always capitalized to stress which position
is correct.
This convention exists to prevent the system components from becoming confused with names of breakers.
Skimming the words that are capitalized can also serve as a quick-reference method for learning the functions
of the breakers.
1.3.2—Additional Advice
This manual will occasionally provide additional advice. When it is provided, this information will be enclosed by
a set of lines to separate it from the rest of the text, like this:
This text does not belong with the rest.
Some of the information is very important, while other information may be good to know. To show the
importance of each piece of information, the following symbols are used:
ELECTRICAL WARNING
Denotes advice that, if not followed, could cause severe bodily harm due to electrical shock.
WARNING
Denotes advice that, if not followed, could cause severe bodily harm due to other types of
injury.
Caution
Offers advice that, if not followed, may harm equipment or indirectly cause physical hazards.
Usually these symbols will be listed in order of importance. Other information is provided merely to be helpful.
