Hi!
Does this PSU works at 220Volt in 2 phases?

As far as I'm aware, Two-phase power is not in popular existence anymore. If you are referring to standard single phase (using 2x 120V legs off a breaker panel to get your 240V) then yes, that is what is required for these.
As far as three-phase power, I am not 100% sure whether these (or any popular server or ATX PSU's) are designed to operate on typical 208V 3-phase power. PhillipMA had created a thread about using 3-phase power with a PSU, and I believe he was planning on using 2 out of the 3 hots along with a ground to create a compatible Single-phase power solution, but I do not know where he is at in his testing. I have a customer who is planning on using these PSU's with 3-phase power in Ontario, but again I cannot confirm whether or not these will work directly with standard 3-phase power.
As for my PSU stock, they should be shipping tomorrow, and I will be picking them up within the next week (hopefully), but I still do not have confirmation on dates. Will update as soon as I know for certain.

Not exactly, you were pretty close at the end there. It's a pretty misunderstood topic, and since most things outside a few very specific niches just "handle" any voltage difference it's rare that anybody nowadays needs to know. But, for the record, in the US at least the homes are supplied with a single 240VAC feed which is "split phase" meaning it exists between two phases or "waves" of AC current, one is -120VAC and the other is +120VAC. These are in fact split in to two legs when they're fed from the mains in to your breaker box, you can see evidence if you ever take the cover off your box and notice each breaker alternates feed lines. Anyway, without falling down too much of a rabbit whole (sorry AC is a bit out of my wheel house, I much prefer low voltage DC) the 240VAC line that is available in all american homes (I believe it's required by law? or mandate? Hell I have no idea) rests in between two 120VAC waves. This is often referred to as dual phase 240V power. So it stands to reason that you could win an easy bar-bet by asking the simple question "what voltage does the electric company provide to your home in the US". My assumption until it was explained to me by someone far more intelligent was 120 volts is 120 volts, none of this voodoo wave crap. Hi!
Does this PSU works at 220Volt in 2 phases?
So 440V? Or do you mean split phase 220V? Not to be confusing but I do know some of my customers have in Mexico and elsewhere have a single feed of 440 at there factories or industrial areas, or at the very least it's the only reliable power source. If you mean 2 phases of 110V then yes this will work with split-phase 220V. It's confusing, it's convoluted, I feel like I'm pretty spot-on in guessing you mean dual phase 220, or split-phase, and not two separate phases... if you do mean two seperate phases then it's an easy fix, I believe you can just disconnect one of the wires, but don't quote me on that and I almost regret saying that already! |

Good news, PSU's have FINALLY shipped today, hope to see them shortly. What a cluster-fuck that was... All I can say is supply of these PSU's is getting lower, we are somewhat drying up the used PSU supply for North America. Go miners!  |

For anyone needing large orders in the US (5 or more), I can have PSU's drop-shipped to them as well to save quite a bit on shipping, I just won't be able to test them ahead of time.

Alright, PSU's arrived today. I'll be sending PM's out right after this, and prices have been updated on the first page. I'm afraid the next batch of PSU's will likely continue to increase in price, as it seems the used PSU market is not infinite. I have had all my 36" cables reserved, but will have more as soon as I can get some from J4bberwock. Thank you everyone for your patience.
Finksy
P.S. If I missed anyone with a PM who were interested before, sorry please PM me again.

Many PSU's shipped out today. Thanks everyone for your patience on getting more of these in, still plenty left. After pricing some units drop-shipped to a US customer, I'm afraid next time I order these there may be another price increase  Keep your eyes on e-bay for cheapies! Finks P.S. will have more 36" cables shipped by the end of the week, should have them mid-late next week. |

Can take orders for PSU's with 36" cables again. They are scheduled to arrive early-mid next week.
If anyone who has purchased from me is willing to, I would greatly appreciate trust being left. I have had quite a few successful sales, and like to think that I provide good service to my customers. Any problems are dealt with accordingly, and I would like to build some positive trust to prevent any wrong-doers from dragging it down. Thanks,
Finksy

Trust left. Sorry I forgot to leave it when I should have! Side note, might need some more hardware soon. Will drop you a line! |

Do you have a C19 to C13 adapter for these? Or a C19 to 240V outlet cable?

I only have C19-C20 cables. I don't recommend using C13 adapters, as I don't believe the C13 receptacles themselves are even rated to run at the required AC current in steady state (14 or more amps). As mentioned in PM, what I do for wiring up individual PSU's is to cut the C20 end off, and wire on a replaceable 20A 240v 6-20 NEMA plug:  and use the appropriate receptacle/wiring. For multiple PSU's, wire large individual 50A power circuits for a PDU, and connect each PSU/breakout board to the PDU. |

I was about to buy one of these but want to confirm here whether these will run on American 240v (which is +120v hot, -120v hot, and ground). Most modern psu can take almost anything but since this is a dedicated server 240 psu I just want to confirm it does not require a +240v hot, neutral, and ground connection.

Yes, these run on 240V SINGLE PHASE power (also referred to as split phase, 2x 120V hots + 1 ground as is typical in North America). I have not tried these on 3-phase 208V power, though the label does not specify, it only states 200-240 V 50/60hz.

for a psu the breaking board is used to connect the psu and replace a computer motherboard? is that for that purpose? have connected a psu to a computer motherboard to switch it on...
mining giving less than electricity bill
IS there a way to reduce electricity bill of a psu ? can breaking boards be purchased anywhere on the web and plugged in to a psu? Does it give better efficiency for costs?
How many antminers S3 can be plugged to your psu? What costs does it give for monthly consumption : how many kwh each month for one S3?
Can you sell a breaking board and ship it to mauritius? can it be plugged to a thermaltake 360 W psu for board connection?
Thanks to reply

Holy Crap Buddy, do a bit a research before asking all these irrelevant questions. These Breaker Board are only for this PSU, look at the pictures at the begginning of this post. reduce electricity, get a better rated PSU, GOLD or above. Use the paper clip trick to power on the PSU, no need to plug a motherboard in it. different breakerboards for different SERVER PSU can be purchased from other peoples. How Many Watts per hours. go look in the S3 Threads. How Many S3 for this PSU, do some maths. 2880 / 330 but don't expect to just plug this PSU in your outlet, you need 240V |
