In the breaker panel you can add breakers with an exact definition of position and capacity available. This enables you to map out and track power connections within the PDU and to reduce stranded capacity. When correctly configured, the breaker panel provides an easy overview of available circuits, breakers, and phases. This overview can be printed and displayed inside the physical panel.
Working with breaker panels includes the following procedures:
When everything is set up, you can conduct impact analysis on connected breakers. See Simulating impact
Standard models of breakers are available in the Genome Library with detailed information about space and phase requirements. Add standard breakers from the Genome Library to your local genomes. Right-click the breaker in genomes to view and configure properties.

You can configure power properties for the PDU in your local genomes or directly in the room layout.
Right-click the PDU and select Properties > Power to edit voltage outputs and voltage inputs. Note that the parameter for the output is phase to phase voltage. If you have an input breaker in front of the PDU, you can specify the value here. If you specify the input breaker, remember to also specify voltage input.
Configuration of a PDU in theroom layoutwill define properties for that individual PDU. Adjustments made in room layout will not affect the PDU in genomes.
In genomes the configurations will apply to the PDU model in general. Adjustments can be made individually to a PDU in room layout, but only within the margins of the configurations you made in genomes. Adjustments made in genomes will not affect the PDUs already placed in the room layout.

You can also add breaker panels to the PDU in genomes. The panels will be part of the configuration of the PDU. In genomes, right-click the PDU and select Properties > Power > Breaker Panel. You can add and delete panels and in a generic panel, you can edit the circuit numbers to match your setup. You cannot connect breakers from this view. To connect breakers, drag the PDU to the room layout, right-click PDU and select Properties > Power > Breaker Panel > select panel name. More on connecting breakers here.

Custom breaker panel layouts can be specified individually within the PDU. The process will vary from generic to modular breaker panels.

Tip
You can take a picture of your breaker panel in your data center to help your memory when you map your connections.

Manage occupied and free breaker positions on each breaker panel for an easy overview of available breakers, circuit numbers and available phases that can be printed out to display inside the physical breaker panel.
To print breaker panel schedules, right-click the PDU and select Reports >Panel Schedule >print.
For the Co-lo version, the tenant name will be added to the printed breaker panel schedule.
