Reduce neutral for non-linear loads(cont'd)

[freddie]

If the servers for example specifications says input voltage low range min. 100v, max. 127v and on the high range min. 200v, max. 240v what type of connection should be used?

If you are using a 240v supply to the servers should the outlet be a 3pin or a 4 pin?

If the server indicates 240 mx, then I would not serve it with 240V, as it may vary +-10%.
The plug on the unit will be your answer.

I'd be inclined to look at the plug supplied. probably its a std 115V plug (for USA use). The 200-240V spec probably means it is rated for both common household voltages found in the world (115 and 220).

I have seen servers supplied at 120 volt or 208 volt.

The servers are the same, flip a switch near where the power cord enters to select approximately 100-130 volt or 200-240 volt input power.

As for the cord they plug into the unit just like your home PC, you simply order the cord for the voltage you wish to use.

The larger server rooms I have worked in use the higher voltage setting.

Check the specs for your own PC and you may find that you could run it at 240 volt and yes that is still at 60 cycles.
