A power port is a device component which draws power from some external source (e.g. an upstream [power outlet](./poweroutlet.md)), and generally represents a power supply internal to a device.
Like most device components, power ports are instantiated automatically from [power port templates](./powerporttemplate.md) assigned to the selected device type when a device is created.
When creating a power port on a device which is mapped to outlets and supplies power to downstream devices, the maximum and allocated draw numbers should be left blank. Utilization will be calculated by taking the sum of all power ports of devices connected downstream.
### Allocated Draw
The budgeted amount of power this port consumes (in watts).
