Na. All of the supplies in the 11/780 are single
phase (with std 110v
15A plugs even). The power controller just splits the phases.
I was just using the VAX-11/780 as a size unit (VUS), not as an
explicit example. Sort of "small mainframe-ish".
As I
said before, it simplifies the wiring from the system to the "mains".
ALRIGHT, Alright...you broke the camels back...I have had enough!
In the US, it is not MAINS, it is the LINE. Most US electricians will
know what you mean, but may give you funny looks if you call it
"mains", and not buy you a beer at the end of the day because you
might be un-American.
Non-US list members may still, of course, call it "mains".
