I recently got some free gear* from a business that was vacating their space, including a hefty UPS and some PDUs that use 3 prong twist-lock plugs. I’m not familiar with this type of plug, and I’m wondering if I can just use an adapter to power it with my regular outlets. The cables look beefy and I don’t doubt they could draw some high amps.
EDIT: Okay, looks like there are multiple types of “twist lock” plugs in the NEMA standard. I’ll have to go into the basement and figure out which one I’m looking at, and probably just look up the UPS spec sheet as well.
*^Also ^a ^Sonicwall ^NSA ^3600 ^and ^two ^Dell ^s3148 ^switches.
CEE form connectors 16A and 32A. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC\_60309
Input to the UPS, depending on the capacity can be 16A or 32A, Single phase.
Output is usually 16A CEE form to the Power Distribution Unit. (PDU)
Unlikely you can use this for the home.
