Quite possibly the grand daddy of power strips.
By what I can tell it split 220 into two legs of 110 on separate breakers.

I have no idea what I would use this for!

This is why I stick mostly with making productive sparks. I did notice the input says 110 volt. But why the huge 3 prong twist lock plug? I was thinking like a 50 amp service on a camper. But now I don't think that's right, not enough prongs.

I think I answered my own question......240 volt plug....two 110 hots on one ground.

A little longer & double the number of plugs, of 3 units I grabbed a few years ago. Mine are all 110. They were mounted in cabinets that computer & servers were plugged into. I mounted 2 on the shop walls. Quite handy at times!

It doesn't matter. Neutral and ground go to the same place. That plug might have a neutral and a ground. Some do, some dont.

In a single phase system, on the main panel, yes.
On 3 phase...it depends.

Either way the neutral conductor won't matter in that plug, not in a little itimg sense like gotwood is suggesting. Derating the neutral is the norm.

Those are common plugs in small "backroom " data centers or data closet.

It would be for redundancy. You'd have two circuit pulled in. (Or 4 or 6 in some configs) each "block" of outlets on its own breaker. Typocally plugged in to redundant ups powered circuits. And many server racks have dual feeds . Meaning two breakers and 2 separate upss have to fail before you go black
