Power calculation for server racks
Hi Folks,
Need some light on power calculation in Data Centre.
Server rack has 2 power source A & B.
3 KW power is catered to this rack.
And assuming readings at Rack show 3 KW for both powerstrips.
Does is mean this rack can use 3 kw from A source and 3 KW from B source? If so, then this rack is using 6 KW?
If i conclude rack is drawing only 3KW although it has source A & B. Then, incoming power at DB or UPS would show 3 KW for each UPS.
ie. UPS A = 3 KW
UPS B = 3 KW
Both UPS = 6 KW
Please enlighten. Thanks.
