DC power poised to bring savings to datacenters
- lsc 18y ago208v AC is easier to find than DC, it works with (most) existing power supplies (look on your power supply... most say that input voltage can be 100 to 240 voltage, and most are auto-switch, though a few still have to be manually switched) and it still gives you a nice efficiency boost. some of my servers run 208v. As a bonus, many places will give you a 30A 208V circuit for less than the cost of 2 20a 110v circuits. (watts is volts times amps, so that is quite a deal.)
