2.1.1 The Correct Questions for Product Selection
How much current in AMPS is required?
Most customers know the rating of circuits installed in their equipment room or data center. It is prudent to get
the complete current requirement per circuit. This is done by adding the rated load of the individual
components.
Electrical code states that you cannot use, on a continuous base, more than 80% of the rated circuit. IE..
16amps on a 20-amp circuit. Customers, especially data centers follow this code.
What is the voltage of the site?
BayTech provides solutions for the following voltages: 115VAC, 220VAC or –48VDC
How many receptacles per circuit are required?
BayTech offers several models with different receptacle capacity. Typically a customer wants to have a few
extra, however, if the application uses the rated circuits capacity with 4 components, it does not make sense to
sell a unit with 21 receptacles.
How many circuits per rack or enclosure is planned?
Most remote location equipment rooms have one circuit connected to a UPS.
Data centers or co-location companies typically run 2 or more circuits to the rack or enclosure. These circuits
come from different power sources and require a unit for each circuit.
Does the customer need current, voltage, power and temperature monitoring?
