Originally created by @lps-rocks on GitHub (Jan 7, 2020).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.7.3
  • NetBox version: 2.6.9

Proposed Functionality

Add the ability to connect multiple devices to a single power feed.

Use Case

This is useful where a single physical circuit is being used for drops to multiple PDUs. e.g. 3-phase 208/120V via L21-30R to multiple 208 single phase / multiple 120V single phase connections.

Database Changes

Probably None.

External Dependencies

None

The current model was decided upon after feedback from the v2.6 beta. It is no longer open for discussion, as development focus has moved elsewhere.

@lps-rocks wouldn't it make sense to model the circuit as a power panel (the source of the circuit) and each of the drops as individual power feeds?
