PE-9 POWER EQUIPMENT AND CABLING

Control: Protect power equipment and power cabling for the system from damage and destruction.

Discussion: Organizations determine the types of protection necessary for the power equipment and cabling employed at different locations that are both internal and external to organizational facilities and environments of operation. Types of power equipment and cabling include internal cabling and uninterruptable power sources in offices or data centers, generators and power cabling outside of buildings, and power sources for self-contained components such as satellites, vehicles, and other deployable systems.

Related Controls: PE-4.

Control Enhancements:

  • (1) POWER EQUIPMENT AND CABLING | REDUNDANT CABLING
    Employ redundant power cabling paths that are physically separated by [ Assignment: organization-defined distance ].

    Discussion: Physically separate and redundant power cables ensure that power continues to flow in the event that one of the cables is cut or otherwise damaged.

    Related Controls: None.

  • (2) POWER EQUIPMENT AND CABLING | AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE CONTROLS
    Employ automatic voltage controls for [ Assignment: organization-defined critical system components ].

    Discussion: Automatic voltage controls can monitor and control voltage. Such controls include voltage regulators, voltage conditioners, and voltage stabilizers.

    Related Controls: None.
