That 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.

- 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.
