Want to move to all 208V for server racks



Dear Jay,

>> you mean 240V AC 50HZ and move from 120V 60Hz? (or also 50Hz)

I got the point.
120 * sqrt(3), phase to phase, three-phase current in european;

Whats the idea behind todo this?
You will also need circuit breakers that both phases are switched of
simultaneous?
