I think that's the same with all the /computer/
equipment that I've seen
which connects to 3? power. A single phase could be used for all of it.
Computer exist which require three phase at a unit power supply level. It's often also
used for large blowers if the cabinet(s) don't strictly require airflow from e.g. a
raised floor.
But I'm told that it's simpler / more
economical (from a wiring /
cable plant point of view) to deliver more power to the equipment as 3?
than it is 1?.
It also saves you on current-carrying conductors for raceway fill calculations as long as
your power factor isn't too bad.
Thanks,
