(For anyone not in on the joke, this is a North American industrial 3-phase electrical system stepped down to 120v per leg where, thanks to math and circles, bridging two legs gives you 208v instead of the normal 240v of a residential connection.)

It's actually less than that! But if you can run a 30A circuit, you'll be able to have 24A charging is which is 5.7 kW (or 5kW even if you're in a building large enough to have 208V three-phase).

Honestly outside of supercommuters or huge electric trucks, 5kW charging is excellent.

Oy, it’s 208v lol

Looks like IKEA Richmond has some big Electric Fleet plans! This in addition to their current offering on the customer side, where they give 2H free EV charging 24A@208V, $5/h after.

A relatively small 3.5MW (IT load) class facility could reasonably support 200 GP racks at 17.3kw (208V 3 phase 60A/ 415V 3 phase 30A)
That same load for a 300kw AI rack 11 plus 11 for storage and networking (same 17.3kw racks above)

Please manufacturers, I cannot buy your 208V 6k induction stove with a battery in it

i don't know anything about server rack design (just a little about resi electrical), but i'd think any power supply that works on 208V should be fine with split-phase 240V. just swap your dryer outlet with a NEMA L6-30P or whatever receptacle your PDU needs and you're golden, only need to pull 23A

*rolls electron microscope into produce section* Hey, where can I get a 3 phase 208v outlet around here?

what's everyone's favorite? USB? those 2 little magnetic dots? the headphone jack with the waterproof anus? 208v/3phase? sound off in the replies!
where the fuck are the chargers for my sex toys

if you're an electrician's apprentice someone has to turn on the breaker to the 208V service you're working on

I don’t do anything professionally that requires LOTO, and even I know that.
I was working on an HVAC unit for an animal rescue (LOL, not my job, but..) and I had the IGC board out with some 208v wires loose. Didn’t have a padlock to LOTO the disconnect, so… 1/2

I took a hit from 208v 3-phase when I was on a cherrypicker and for about 3 seconds thought I was going to die.

My girlfriend has found some creative wiring in her 1950s expanded in the 1980s house in the US including a circuit reversing polarity at an outlet and an electric baseboard heater in a former porch that only had two wires connected despite being labeled as 240v/208v
