Power Tool Tip - UPS - Potential Failover Load (Exceeds Reserved Load)

[DCIM_Support]

DCO CoLo 7.5

Could some please explain or point to the doco for this UPS tool tip.  In the example below for a 160kW UPS, somewhere 47kW is being reserved.  There are no capacity groups and no Reserved power per rack set (yet).  As a test I set the reserved power to per rack to 5.9kW but same issue

With "Advanced Power" Tool Tip on or off, the display is the same

Thanks Jesper,

On further consideration, am I correct in saying that in this case, both the Reserved Load and Estimated Load failed over are the same thing so the error about "Potential fail-over load exceeds reserved load" is probably as a result of a rounding error?  If that is the case, could you submit as a bug fix / feature request?  If not, what is the red alert trying to tell me?

Hi Ed, Potential fail-over load is the load we reserver in case another UPS fails. So if you have a setup a A and B-feed setup will we show the power needed on the A UPS in case the B UPS fails. The estimated load is the total estimated load of the equipment in the group.
