Power distribution systems take facility-level power and break it down into the branch circuits that actually reach a rack. This course covers the fundamentals of that distribution chain: panels, breakers, PDUs, and load balancing, as the theory foundation for PDU architecture and monitoring work.
You'll leave able to read a panel schedule, size a breaker correctly, and understand how distribution fundamentals show up in rack-level PDU design.
What You'll Learn
- Understand power distribution from facility feed to branch circuit
- Read panel schedules and breaker sizing correctly
- Apply load balancing principles across distribution panels
- Connect distribution fundamentals to PDU architecture and monitoring
