General Power Point (GPO) Modeling in DCO

[DCIM_Support]

Hello All,  Looking for best practice on modelling what I call General Power Outlets (GPO).  These are typically the Red Power Points you see around the walls of a DC or in certain rooms that are general purpose power outlets that are connected to a UPS and therefore the UPS Distribution Board.

I thought about using a normal distribution switch board but it seems that they only take a three phase input and GPO's are single phase.

I though about re-naming a single phase PDU but they need to go in racks and these GPO's are typically on walls.

So how to best model as without something I cannot configure a CB in the UPS Switchboard as it needs a destination and I don't want to leave the CB empty in the main UPS switchboard as its not.

Also, all those empty sockets under the floor (EIC309 type sockets for example) that have no PDE plugged in but consume a CB in a switchboard.  how do we modem them on the switchboard?

Thanks

Hi Craig,

As you also very well describe this is currently not possible. I will track your information in the feature request regarding this functionality. 

I do not see any nice way to work around this as you also experience. I can think of maybe creating a fake rack with a fake rmpdu that could simulate the various CB consumers. This is not pretty in terms of real life modulation but what I could come up with 😀

Thanks Soren,

All we need is a Gnome device that can sit on a wall or on the floor that takes single/three phase inputs....
