PDM28
  • PDM28

    The PDM28 is the newest PDM (Power Distribution Module) from Hardwire Electronics, the product of over 3 years of development and testing. 

    A PDM is a device used to replace conventional relays and fuses in a vehicle electrical system. The Hardwire Electronics PDM28 takes inputs from physical switches, analogue voltages, or the CAN bus, and provides power to different electronic devices such as radiator fans, fuel pumps and head lights. The current being drawn from each connected device is continuously monitored. If the measured current is too high due to a fault, the PDM switches off the respective output to prevent further damage to the wiring loom or the connected device. The PDM can then retry the output to see if the fault has cleared.
