Three-phase balancing
The optimal phase balancing in the enclosure is 2%, but 5% or less can be accomplished when the following
criteria are met:
• The same type of power supplies are used.
• Nodes draw a 50% load.
• No power supply is in a failed state.
Cable each s6500 chassis so that each power supply receives one feed from each phase.
