Yes - think of all the nasty partial failure cases that can be eliminated - each entire datacenter is either up or down. Much simpler! Getting back to reality, I've watched more than one electrician do a two-finger liveness test on a 120v circuit, and done it myself. 240v HURTS, and I've not seen a pro finger it deliberately. But I haven't actually asked. On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 01:34:41PM -0700, Ray Sanders wrote:

Why stop there? Grab a 20,000 volt feeder and create a Tesla datacenter.
