i hope this category will work for the topic... if it's better suited under a different category please feel free to move it over...
i am currently doing research on setting up a small computer farm for early 2018
i plan on utilizing approximately 65,000 watts approximately
I will have 2000amp service installed during November
my question is to find out if I should go with 240v or 110v
the master electrician who came over to discuss the project with me told me that i will see a savings of 10% to 15% max on my power consumption if I go with 240v instead of 110v since 240v is a lot more efficient
i am finding conflicting information when doing some research about this, some people agree and say 240v will produce a good savings while other people say there is little to no difference between 110v and 240v
i don't know why there are such vast discrepancies over this topic - it should be a yes/no answer... i'd like to think the electrician is correct as he has many years of experience and told me he's worked on other computer farms in the past so i believe when he says there will be a good savings that there will be a good savings
i'd like to know if it will actually be 10% to 15% more efficient? i mean this is pretty significant - it means in less than 2 years the savings alone will be enough to pay for the entire installation/transformer/warranty etc..
does anyone here have experience with larger projects like this and have you switched to 240v? what has been your experience?
