Now as we know, these can only support NEMA L6-30, vs. the variable power supplies such as the 3000W. I've run out of L6-30R's in my data center as our new rack PDU's are of this spec. I may need to use 110V NEMA 5-20 plugs.

As far as I'm aware, the specs for the 3000W power supply are:

16A maximum at 200 VAC at 3000W output
16A maximum at 100 VAC at 1450W output
