How do I stay within the 13A maximum load on a UK-plug PDU?

Add the input current of the equipment that will be powered from the PDU and keep the combined load within 13A.

If the equipment load is unclear, check its rating information rather than relying on the number of free sockets as an indication that more load can be added.

Are all IEC C14-input PDUs rated at 10A? What is the maximum current for each individual PDU outlet? Can I add the theoretical ratings of all the sockets together to work out the PDU capacity? What supply voltage and frequency are these PDUs designed for?
