User seeks advice on dual PSU setup for high-power GPU workstation

A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA forum is seeking advice on configuring a dual power supply unit (PSU) setup for a high-end workstation. The user plans to install multiple powerful GPUs, such as RTX Pro 6000s and 5090s, along with a Threadripper Pro 9975WX CPU, requiring a substantial power draw of approximately 2,400W. Since 240V power is unavailable, the user is considering two 1600W MSI MPG PSUs, each connected to a dedicated 15A circuit and a 1900W UPS, and is looking for reliable dual PSU experiences and recommendations for bridging hardware.
