Power device power consumption

Use the Power page to view power consumption information for the PDU, outlets, phases and banks. This page is present if the console server firmware version is 3.3 or later. The following table describes the parameters.

Table 10: Power Device Power Consumption Parameters

Setting

Description

ID The unique ID of the element.
Scope The element type (PDU, phase, bank or outlet).
Name Name of the element (PDU or outlets only).
Value (W) The current value measured in watts.
Max (W)

The maximum value recorded, measured in watts.

NOTE: The Max (W) values can be reset with the Reset Values button.

Min (W)

The minimum value recorded, measured in watts.

NOTE: The Min (W) values can be reset with the Reset Values button.

Measurement The power consumption can be measured if the PDU supports voltage detection or it can be estimated if the PDU requires the user to configure the Nominal Voltage.
Power Factor The ratio of the real power to the apparent power; a number between 0 and 1 that is frequently expressed as a percentage. Real power is the capacity of the circuit for performing work in a particular time. Apparent power is the product of the current and voltage of the circuit.
