German term
A/B-Strang
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Electronics / Elect Eng
Das Rechenzentrum ist mit zwei redundanten Einspeisungen (A/B-Strang) für eine maximale Leistungsaufnahme von 2x 100kVA ausgelegt.
Zur Absicherung bei Stromausfällen und Spannungsschwankungen ist pro Strang (A/B) eine Drehstrom-USV-Anlage im Einsatz.

This randomly appeared in what is otherwise an IT text and I'm not good at electrical terminology. I also can't seem to find anything online relating to an A/B-Strang. Leo suggests "phase element" but I'm really not sure.

This has to be "bus", Scott, because the second sentence in your sample provided translates to:
"A three-phase UPS system is used per bus (A/B) to protect against power failures and voltage fluctuations".

A/B phase
Three-phase systems have four lines: one for neutral, others for A, B and C phases.

: I can't image a large computer center having incoming lines with only one phase. I suspect each of the lines A and B has all three phases.

I believe this might be understood quite literally, meaning the actual cables -
