Let me start by saying I am not a "power" guru... We are in the process of building out a few new server racks, and appear to have run into a "code" issue per the inspector. In each of my rack locations, I am pulling in (2) 208 3phase 60A circuits, per manufacture specs:

On the panel / breaker side, we have side the breaker to 60A? the inspector however is saying because the UL plate on the PDU says 48A, that the break should be sized @ 50, not 60. HP however is suggesting per spec we size the circuit to 60A, not 48A.
Does this make sense?
