I am adding to my server farm at home. Instead of pulling a second 110
line I was pondering migrating the current one to 220, perhaps
installing a sub breaker box in that room. To wire a sub box, I need to
run both hots, ground and the neutral wire as well right? So I will
need 4 wire cable running across the house rated for at least 30 amps.
And then from the box I can pull off my split 110 with breakers.
I am pondering buying a surplus 6000va/220 ups. From everything I can
find, it does not drop 110 nor do any of the pdus that come with it. I
will assume that the unit wires only 220 hots and ground, so there is
probably no neutral on the output side of it that would allow me to
split it into 110.
How can I get 110 from this unit? It is a Compaq R6000 and nowhere in
any reference does is suggest using it with 110 equipment. I've heard
of folks using these as a whole house ups, but again, you need to tap
neutral to do so right, and I dont see anything regarding that or any
pdu option that splits for you in the rack.
