Understand Electrical Distribution - Overview
Electrical Systems distribute power to wherever it is needed within your building presenting it through a series of power distribution boards (PDU's) to allow local isolation for individual areas, circuits or components. Depending on the design and requirements, they provide increasing levels of power availability via the provision of power smoothing and power backup devices, such as line conditioners, UPS's and Generators.

Each component in an electrical system including the cables themselves, must be sized and electrically rated based on the anticipated power loading to be supported by the system. It is therefore imperative that any design or change is completed by a qualified electrician. The final choice is to select the load and socket-type to provide to each IT Racks, this should be coordinated with any rack installation planning activity.
