Because it has single pole breakers. Get the P9S13A instead. Have an L6-30 outlet installed. --- End quote --- How do you know that those two breakers inside the unit are single-pole? I know the plug itself is using three 8-gauge wires. Have you seen a tear down or something or is there some way you can tell by the info that was provided? I wonder why HPE lists this unit as International. I can buy the whole sales talked to tech and tech was just wrong thing. That has happened before, not with HPE, but with Microsoft, for instance. I'm not asking this trying to be a smart ass or anything, I'm just trying to learn a little and get a better understanding. Thanks. |

I cannot use the P9S13A's. That's 208VAC outlets. I need 220VAC+. |

I've looked at that document many times, I have a copy saved. I think my limited understanding of the AC threw me off. You're talking about on page 8, so was Richard, right? So, in layman's terms, could one of you guys explain to me why those 1-pole 16A breakers are an issue, versus me having two 2-pole 20A breakers? That device Richard Crowley linked too, I call that a step-up transformer, I'm not sure what they call it, but that would safely complete the requirements to provide the necessary 240VAC single-phase that I need, correct? Where I wouldn't be violating any codes, etc? I want to find something with at least IP44 rating, but maybe IP67. I dunno yet. |

None of the outlets, nor the cables plugged into them, are rated for this. --- Quote ---Where I wouldn't be violating any codes, etc?
