1# Power Feed
2
3A power feed represents the distribution of power from a power panel to a particular device, typically a power distribution unit (PDU). The power port (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.

5Each power feed is assigned an operational type (primary or redundant) and one of the following statuses:
6
7* Offline
8* Active
9* Planned
10* Failed

12Each power feed also defines the electrical characteristics of the circuit which it represents. These include the following:
13
14* Supply type (AC or DC)
15* Phase (single or three-phase)
16* Voltage
17* Amperage
18* Maximum utilization (percentage)
