range for common household 110/120v service.
Yeah, but that's L-G voltage (geez, did you even look at the picture?)
And Seth just finished telling us that it was 211 L-L:
Seth > "The L-L voltage on that same PDU is 211."
What's going to be presented at the neutral and hot of the 5-15R of the
monitor power adapter are the L and L. Think about it. Or get out a
meter and test.
Depending on how the phases are balanced in your facility, you may see
that fluctuate up or down, of course. If you measure hot to hot on the
same PDU, do you get anywhere close to 208?
Yes, Seth just finished telling us that in the portion of his message you
conveniently snipped.
I'm going to suspect either
your fairly out of balance, or you've got a good bit of voltage drop by
the time it arrives....But since the concensus from those who haven't used this is that the
device will present 208/240 at the 5-15 plug, I withdraw my suggestion and
leave you to your own methods. (for the rest, test it yourself)
For those of us who *have* used this, we're telling you that it'll present
208/240 at the 5-15R.
I also won't argue using ground for neutral, that's like arguing bonded vs
unbonded panels.
No it's not. Only idiots argue for using ground for neutral. In doubt?
Ask your electrical inspector.
