Yea that would be better, ill get more pics of the entire unit. I just need something simple that can cool an i7 or Am3 cpu's

That is some serious kick ass equipment. I dont know much about phase cooling, but would bet in an industrial environment (with 440V supply) you could run an octopus off it

I have been an electrician for 21 years and hold both a Journeyman and Master Electrician License and yes 480VAC is definately 3 phase. 480VAC is comprised of either two or three ungrounded phase conductors that will measure 277V to either the grounded (Neutral) conductor or grounding conductor.

Typical residential power would be 120 / 240V both considered single phase.
120V = One phase conductor, one grounded conductor, and one grounding conductor.
220V = Two phase conductors, one grounded conductor ( not always used), and one grounding conductor.

Typical Commercial power would be either 120 / 208V 3P or 277/480V 3 Phase.Both of these are 4 wire systems. 3 phase conductors, one grounded (neutral) conductor, and a grounding conductor.

Less common but still used is 240V 3 phase this would be comprised of 3 phase conductors and one grounding conductor. This is typically a delta system.
I am not syaing these are the only voltages but these are the most commonly used. I have also worked with transformers for a recording studio which proce 60VAC per leg so you need a two pole breaker and still end up with 120VAC of clean power.

Subscribed, this thread is getting interesting

I was not doubting 3 phase... I was asking about the voltage. I have never heard of 480V even though I had to work on 3 phase equipment in the military (it ran at 440V).

So I decided to look it up and much like 120V here in the US and it appears like, 440, 460 and 480V are used pretty interchangeably.
