Title: [IDEA] Connect active PFC PSU to 208V. Post by: fabrizziop on July 26, 2012, 07:32:53 PM Hi. I think I can reduce the load in my electrical installation by connecting the PSUs in this way, as I have 120V one phase, and 208V by using 120V and 120V lines together. But, I think I should connect the PSUs wires in this way: Live to live, neutral to second live, and ground to ground.
Is this correct?. Thanks in advance. Title: Re: [IDEA] Connect active PFC PSU to 208V. Post by: rjk on July 26, 2012, 07:37:11 PM Yup, that's correct. If you are interested, I'm selling a custom power strip that I built for that purpose over here at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=92925.0

I'll have to use normal NEMA 5-15 plugs, but I'll paint the receptacles red and place a warning, people here can be extremely stupid with electricity and I don't want to waste two wires and purchase even more receptacles.

Thanks for your reply Thanks again, I did the installation, works perfectly, and the wires don't become warm anymore. I definitely love active PFC. |
