planning with ceiling feed

Building power is fed from the plenum above the ceiling down to the workstation using power pole products.

determining power pole (EPE) height• The dimension between finished ceiling and the top of the panelplus 4" determines power pole height

• The power pole is available in 48", 72" and 96" heights and is cutin the field to specific height requirements

• Use the following chart to determine height required:

determining power pole harness (EPH)length• The overall ceiling height determines the length of the power poleharness required

• The power pole harness is available in 111" and 135" lengths and isspecified as follows:

determining power pole complete (EP)height• When specifying the power pole component height of the powerpole complete, use the Power Pole Height chart above

• Please note, use of the power pole complete is restricted to ceilingheights of 10'-0" and lower. This is because the power pole harnesscomponent measures 111" in length

• For ceiling heights above 10'-0", specify the Power Pole (EPE) andPower Harness (EPB) separately

outlet compatibility chart

• T/O/S Panels are available with raceways. A raceway is a built-in wire and cabling management duct which combinesunparalleled access to power and cabling at desk-top heightwith minimum visibility. See Application Guidelines, in thePanels section for further details

• T/O/S raceways are designed to allow separation of power fromdata/telephone lines

• How much power? Each piece of electrical equipment uses aspecified number of amperes. For example, the averagepersonal computer draws 2 to 4 amps. For every 10 amps, addanother circuit. Never push the system to the limit – alwaysoverestimate the requirement and keep future requirements inmind

• For use with a computer, a wire system with an isolated circuitis recommended to reduce interference
