Or just run your PSU off 240V. Much more standard supply, and most switched mode supplies already support 240V. They’re typically more efficient, too.

- angoragoats 2y agoThat works for sure, though it's less common in the US to have a 240v circuit available (with an appropriate receptacle) anywhere you might put a large server. Using two 120v circuits, you're more likely to be able to set it up with what you have now, without requiring any electrical work.
- Kirby64 2y agoThe comparison was a 120V 40A circuit. A 240V-20A socket would be more common than a 120V 50A socket. Both technically exist, but a 240V 20A outlet would be cheaper, safer, and more common. A 240V 20A outlet is actually somewhat common for larger window mounted AC units.
