Nope, the Powerware 3000RM uses IEC-320 connectors. An IEC-320-19C
coming in from the wall (I have that cable already) and an IEC-320-20C
output as well as an IEC-320-14C (normal sized IEC-320 connector (like
on the back of a Sparc 4/5/20, etc. for the monitor). All output is
either 208v, 220, 230, 240 depending on how the UPS is set, and what the
incoming power is. I found a company online that has the connector I'm
looking for, and I've already ordered a couple of them (in case I mess
one up) I haven't decided yet if I'm going to change the connector on
the SC2000 or just make a short jumper cable to go from the twistlock on
the machine to the IEC-320-20C into the UPS. It really depends on how
thick a piece of wire the IEC connector can take, the SC2000's wire is
like super insulated, larger than 1/2" in dia.
