DCO 8.0 Single phase modelling

[DCIM_Support]

The release notes say that 2 new features I have always been interested in are now available.

• Modelling of single phase UPS.
• Starting a power path from a PDU instead of a UPS.

Single phase UPS modelling

What I cannot figure out how to do is model a single phase rack mounted UPS - the power option is absent from any I have chosen in the genome of 8.0.  I specifically wanted to model a Symmetra LX 16000 but have been unable to figure out how.

Starting a power path from a PDU instead of a UPS.

I cannot figure out how to do this full stop.  I can create power paths below the PDU but on the PDU I cannot define them as A and B supplies.

I could not find anything in the DCO documentation or tutorials that explaining either of these.

Any pointers on either of these please?

Hi Garry!

Unfortunately rack-mounted  UPS are still unsupported. New version supports single phase floor-mounted UPS.

I'm not sure about second question - have not touch new version myself.

Thanks Valentin. I don't suppose you know if there will be support for single phase rack mount UPS soon do you?

No, I don't know.

You cannot define the PDU as either A-feed or B-feed. That options is available only for UPSs and Recitifiers (for DC).

It is however no longer necessary to mark the feeds as A or B for the capacity calculations to run. To make sure the PDU defines a capacity for the calculations remember to set an input breaker for the PDU.

Thanks for the answer. I just expected that you would be able to define A and B supplies but could not figure out how to do it. At least I know the reason why now..
