This thing is an absolute unit!

120v outlets are not an option as this bad boy can manage over 18 Amps. This is why most manufacturers do not exceed 1600W PSUs. I hope you know an electrician if you do go with this one. LOL
 
FSP marks their 2kW unit as:
2000W at 200-240V
1500W at 115-200V
1200W at 100-115V


They still have the full automatic 100-240V range as most modern PSUs but limited maximum wattage below 200V.

I'm unsure if calling PSU Cannon is good marketing. I remember when one brand called their PSU Hellfire ... they were literally bursting flames quite often.
 
Woomack, are you saying that the unit will "self-throttle" if plugged into a 120V outlet?

I'm actually curious how it works, but maybe forced shutdown by OCP/OVP after longer load above the specs. Lower wattage units have lower efficiency at 100-115V, but I'm not really sure how that 2kW FSP works. ATX3.1 PSUs have allowed spikes up to +100% of the maximum wattage. Now I also wonder how 4kW spikes would look in a typical home environment ... I have 230V here in Poland, but only ~3.2kW total in my apartment.

Without looking at the spec, I'm guessing the output is rated for that power, which would be delivered by capacitors in the PSU. Some kind of inrush limit so you don't at the same time try to pull excessive from the wall. I'm also assuming it is for a very short time only so it shouldn't have a long term impact.
