# Power Ports
|
||||
|
||||
A power port represents the inlet of a device where it draws its power, i.e. the connection port(s) on a device's power supply. Each power port may be assigned a physical type, as well as allocated and maximum draw values (in watts). These values can be used to calculate the overall utilization of an upstream power feed.
|
||||
A power port is a device component which draws power from some external source (e.g. an upstream [power outlet](./poweroutlet.md)), and generally represents a power supply internal to a device.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fields
|
||||
|
||||
### Device
|
||||
|
||||
The device to which this power port belongs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Module
|
||||
|
||||
The installed module within the assigned device to which this power port belongs (optional).
|
||||
|
||||
### Name
|
||||
|
||||
The name of the power port. Must be unique to the parent device.
|
||||
|
||||
### Label
|
||||
|
||||
An alternative physical label identifying the power port.
|
||||
|
||||
### Type
|
||||
|
||||
The type of power port.
|
||||
|
||||
### Maximum Draw
|
||||
|
||||
The maximum amount of power this port consumes (in watts).
|
||||
|
||||
!!! info
|
||||
When creating a power port on a device which supplies power to downstream devices, the allocated and maximum draw numbers should be left blank. Utilization will be calculated by taking the sum of all power ports of devices connected downstream.
|
||||
When creating a power port on a device which is mapped to outlets and supplies power to downstream devices, the maximum and allocated draw numbers should be left blank. Utilization will be calculated by taking the sum of all power ports of devices connected downstream.
|
||||
|
||||
Cables can connect power ports only to power outlets or power feeds. (Pass-through ports cannot be used to model power distribution.)
|
||||
### Allocated Draw
|
||||
|
||||
The budgeted amount of power this port consumes (in watts).
|
||||
|
||||
### Mark Connected
|
||||
|
||||
If selected, this component will be treated as if a cable has been connected.
