Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng
Swedish term or phrase: dubbel ström
Dubbel ström, två FAS:er

Is this as simple as "Two-phase electrical power" ?
Or is it something more complicated, as "Dual power, two-phase" ?


For context, this is for a colocation unit, and the alternative is "Ström, en FAS" -- which I take to mean: "Power, single Phase"

In regard to Leif's interesting notes, I remembered references with my suggestion and AC/DC, which fits his dual power source -- grid and generator (tho I don't know how colocation units are designed)

The reference below has this sentence ...
'The Cisco uBR7246VXR carries dual current-exchanging power supplies (AC or DC)' -- more pleasant reading!

Notes to answerer
Asker: simply a data center

Asker: Ok, but can one also say "dual power" ?

Asker: Thanks Deane, for this detailed info. Now you see why what on the surface looks simple, doesn't appear to be so clear cut to me.

dual power


Explanation:
Fairly sure this should be "dual power" and not "dual current" in this particular instance. See the link for some examples. It's the redundancy of the power supply that's essential here.

(FAS = "flash array storage" or "flash array storage system")
