Yea I can’t help you there. That NEMA 6-30P is going to be tough to utilize for this and could be dangerous. Good luck on your hunt. My only suggestion is maybe fine a PDU that could go between. I do not recommend making your own cable.
It’s functionally the same, it’s not fake in any way.
It’s just a transformer that has 240V across it with a tap in the middle, and we take the two halves of it to make the two 120V lines. Combining the two 120V is really just using the whole transformer.
You’d see exactly the same curve on an oscilloscope.
“220 V” is the “nominal” voltage. All voltages fluctuate depending on all sorts of factors, but should stay within a certain range of nominal. In the USA most utilities follow the ANSI C84 Voltage standard. 220 V is what electricians refer to it as. Your utility probably calls it “240 V”.

There should be a switch that flips the input between 110/220 and you will need a different cable for the PSU
Right, where do I find the cable? I can’t find it on evgas website or anywhere else.
Can you upload a picture of the plug because it should be easy to find standard cables?
Someone else has given me what I need I think ,but it looks like the one here:. https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=220-T2-1600-X1#images-4
That’s the titanium model, while I have the cheaper gold on, but I think the plug is the same.
Sorry I meant your power outlet. The outlet on the PSU is standard for 220v from what I know
Looks like this: http://images.lowes.com/product/converted/032664/032664306303.jpg
It looks like I need a 6-15P to IEC C19 cable. I guess 14 gauge should be sufficient.
Edit: Wait…It might be 6-30… That’s way harder to find.

Could I not use a 6-30P to 6-15R adapter? My computer will blow up before that amperage becomes and issue.
Will that work for US split-phase “220” where the voltage is 110v on each leg? I was always worried that would fry the PSU since it’s not true 220V.

Yep
It’s not? I guess it’s more like 230-240 but it should be fine,
