    Could you do it? Yes, you could do a main tie main, but that would cost way way way more than to just put in a second bus-line.

    I think we are missing the point here ;)

    I think you still have to have PDUs for bus-line. You are comparing putting additional circuits per cabinets to putting second bus line. My point that bus line is one more bottleneck in the power infrastructure. Convenient? - may be.

    Bus-lines still have to be plugged in somewhere. Now wherever you'll plug them will be equivalent of PDUs.

    I think we are very far from OPs question. So if you have any more questions/suggestions you may want to start a new thread.

    Thank you

    A PDU is a transformer that has it secondary side connected to multiple panels, a panel is just 3 buses with breakers on them.

    Starline simply is a transformer whos secondary connects to a bus that is in a different place.

    I was comparing adding redundancy by allowing service of the transformer or head in unit by adding complexity in the system rather than add in simply another unit.

    PDU's give a pretty fair idea of power consumption.

    What I am referring to is PacketPower, http://www.packet-power.com/, that offers power metering devices that all co-habitate on a mesh wireless RF network and allow for facility wide monitoring without the deployment of a new network fabric. They also have some pretty nifty tools to collect, report, and manage the data you gather.

    Talked with their people and got to look at their devices at HostingCon this year, it's definitely neat and if we didn't already have a monitoring solution in place would definitely consider deploying it.
    Does anyone have a contact at packet-power? I sent a message on their site, I haven't heard anything. Looking to see how much this system costs.
