Single Phase PDU with 2 Circuit Breakers #7807
-
|
Hi, What would be the best way to document a single phase PDU with power outlet and circuit breaker (bank) association? The PDU I'm using is an APC AP8953. It's a 32a PDU but split into 2 banks, both of which have a 16a breaker. The PDU has 24 power outlets with ports 1-12 on bank 1 and ports 13-24 on bank 2. Would be good to document this if possible. Look forward to your suggestions/thoughts. Thanks |

The simplest way to model this would be a PDU with 24 power outlets linked to 1 power port (inlet). You'd lose the circuit breaker association, although if you want you could reflect this in the naming of the outlets, e.g. If you're trying to use Netbox data to ensure that you don't exceed the current capacity of CB1 and CB2 individually, then this won't help you. The second way would be a PDU with 24 outlets and 2 power ports, OUT1-12 linked to IN1 and OUT13-24 to IN2. You'd then need to connect that to a fake "Y" splitter device with 2 power outlets linked to 1 power port. |

Makes perfect sense, thanks for spending your time explaining this! |
