Welcome to the Raritan 3-phase capacity planning tool. These vendor-agnostic spreadsheets aim to demystify the pro 3-phase rack power strips -- to ensure maximum power capacity while preventing overloading.
You will find five power strip capacities below (worksheet tabs).

It is critically important to utilize correct planning tool sized for your rack power strip. Consult the spec sh engineering submittals of your rack power strip, to determine the rated input current -- not just the input
For each outlet type (C13 or C19), per breaker -- enter in expected loads and, optionally, the name of the drawing the load. For Tier II (and above) redundancy situations, complete the spreadsheet assuming that (redundant) power strip in the cabinet is offline.
The capacity planning tool will automatically highlight any error conditions. So long as the field "capacity c bottom-righ of the spreadsheet reads "OK" (Green), your rack power strip has not exceeded its capacity c
60A
plug
Note that rack power strip vendors provide multiple products with 60A plugs (IEC 60309 60A 3P4W), but w different rated currents: either 48A or 45A. (This is because 45A units only require smaller, 6# AWG cable AWG). Be sure to select the correct worksheet that corresponds to your power strip.
50A
plug
Note that rack power strip vendors provide products with 50A plugs (Hubbell CS8365C, "California Style"), two different rated currents: either 40A or 35A. (This is because 35A units only require 3 branch circuit br not 6). Be sure to select the correct worksheet that corresponds to your power strip.
