I have a customer that wants to remove the power plug (and IEC 309 style) from our equipment and connect the wires to a power distribution system beneath the computer floor. This distribution system uses an IEC style "din rail" type of barrier strip where one inserts the bare wire into a hole and tightens two screws to affix the wire.
My device is rated 200-240V single phase. When the plug is removed you have a blue, brown and green/yellow conductor. The power source is a 208V leg (two phase?) drop with two black wires. The electrician refuses to connect the blue (neutral) wire from the power cord to a black (phase) wire. How can I resolve this. Regardless of whether we are talking blue/brown or black/white, the white and blue are identified as neutral. Because we allow 200-240V single phase this does not preclude the use of 208V phase to phase input.
