The system is duplicated - two computers - one live (system A) and one in standby (system B). The customer wants to run each system off a separate UPS. I am concerned that this would mean having potentially dangerous voltages in the cabinets under fault conditions. Supply would be 110V AC to each system from different phases of the building 3 Phase supply.
