A method and corresponding apparatus provide a determination of available power capacity of a phase of a power supply in a data center rack. The method includes metering the power of a power supply and calculating an average peak power draw per phase of the power supply. Using average peak power draw per phase of the power supply and the expected power draw data corresponding to data center equipment coupled to the power supply, the available power capacity can be calculated on a per phase of the power supply. A method and corresponding apparatus for managing data center equipment may use the phase based available power capacity calculations to determine the optimal placement of new data center equipment within a data center configuration. 122.-. (canceled)23. A method for determining available power capacity of a data center rack within a data center , the data center rack coupled to a power distribution system having a plurality of power sources , each providing multiple phases of output power , the method comprising:determining a power draw of the data center rack from each phase of each of the plurality of power sources;calculating an actual power draw of the data center rack by summing the power draws of each phase of each of the plurality of power sources;calculating an expected power draw of the data center rack for each phase of the power distribution system; andcalculating the available power capacity of the data center rack based on the actual power draw of the data center rack and the expected power draw of the data center rack for each phase of the power distribution system.24. The method of claim 23 , further comprising calculating an available power capacity of another data center rack coupled to the power distribution system within the data center based claim 23 , in part claim 23 , on the actual power draw of the data center rack and the expected power draw of the data center rack for each phase of the power distribution system25. The method of claim ...
