Too bad a substantial amount of equipment doesn't allow for
redundant plugins. The ability to plug { servers | routers |
whatever } into two totally separate power feeds is nice.
Anyone for building a rackmount transfer switch for two inputs?
Assuming it didn't fail (!) -- would the economies of scale work
for or against it compared to big transfer switches? Between
dealing with _much_ smaller current levels and the opportunity
for mass production, what are the chances of something like this
working?
