We'll that's just plain silly, at the very least there's always going to be some breakers / fuzes in between the power and the machines.

In fact in our building there's quite a few breaker points between our comms room on the 3rd floor and the ups / generator in the basement. It's a crappy implementation actually.

the response I get from people is that they give their servers redundant poewr supplies and put them on seperate circuits so they must be safe from that.

but as commented, that's not enough in the real world.
