# Power Feed
|
|
|
|
A power feed represents the distribution of power from a [power panel](./powerpanel.md) to a particular [device](./device.md), typically a power distribution unit (PDU). The [power port](./powerport.md) (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.
|
|
|
|
## Fields
|
|
|
|
### Power Panel
|
|
|
|
The [power panel](./powerpanel.md) which supplies upstream power to this feed.
|
|
|
|
### Rack
|
|
|
|
The [rack](./rack.md) within which this feed delivers power (optional).
|
|
|
|
### Name
|
|
|
|
The feed's name or other identifier. Must be unique to the assigned power panel.
|
|
|
|
### Status
|
|
|
|
The feed's operational status.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
Additional statuses may be defined by setting `PowerFeed.status` under the [`FIELD_CHOICES`](../../configuration/data-validation.md#field_choices) configuration parameter.
|
|
|
|
### Type
|
|
|
|
In redundant environments, each power feed can be designated as providing either primary or redundant power. (In environment with only one power source, all power feeds should be designated as primary.)
|
|
|
|
### Mark Connected
|
|
|
|
If selected, the power feed will be treated as if a cable has been connected.
|
|
|
|
### Supply
|
|
|
|
Electrical current type (AC or DC).
|
|
|
|
### Voltage
|
|
|
|
Operating circuit voltage, in volts.
|
|
|
|
### Amperage
|
|
|
|
Operation circuit amperage, in amperes.
|
|
|
|
### Phase
|
|
|
|
Indicates whether the circuit provides single- or three-phase power.
|
|
|
|
### Max Utilization
|
|
|
|
The maximum safe utilization of the feed, expressed as a percentage of the total available power. (Typically this will be set to around 80%, to avoid tripping a breaker during heaving spikes in current draw.)
|
|
|
|
!!! info
|
|
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.
