# Power Feed
|
|
|
|
|
|
-A power feed identifies the power outlet/drop that goes to a rack and is terminated to a power panel. Power feeds have a supply type (AC/DC), voltage, amperage, and phase type (single/three).
|
|
|
+A power feed represents the distribution of power from a power panel to a particular device, typically a power distribution unit (PDU). The power pot (inlet) on a device can be connected via a cable to a power feed. A power feed may optionally be assigned to a rack to allow more easily tracking the distribution of power among racks.

-Power feeds are optionally assigned to a rack. In addition, a power port – and only one – can connect to a power feed; in the context of a PDU, the power feed is analogous to the power outlet that a PDU's power port/inlet connects to.
|
|
|
+Each power feed is assigned an operational type (primary or redundant) and one of the following statuses:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Offline
|
|
|
+* Active
|
|
|
+* Planned
|
|
|
+* Failed
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Each power feed also defines the electrical characteristics of the circuit which it represents. These include the following:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Supply type (AC or DC)
|
|
|
+* Phase (single or three-phase)
|
|
|
+* Voltage
|
|
|
+* Amperage
|
|
|
+* Maximum utilization (percentage)

!!! info

|
|
- The power usage of a rack is calculated when a power feed (or multiple) is assigned to that rack and connected to a power port.
|
|
|
+ The power utilization of a rack is calculated when one or more power feeds are assigned to the rack and connected to devices that draw power.
