please i need suggestion of server psu 2400 or higher
but  with voltage input range 100-240v
not 200-240
if not present what is the biggest  server psu with input 100-240

You are going to have a hard time finding one.  Power(watts)=Volts*Amps  so... 2400 watts divided by 120v would be 20 amps.  Most household electrical circuits on 120v are on 15 amp breakers.  You should really only use 80% of a circuit, so the maximum you should put on a 15 amp breaker would be 1440 watts at 120 volts.

This is why 2400 watt PSUs will only work on 220-240V.  The wiring is a much lower gauge, which means it can handle more current (amperage), and thus can handle the higher wattage.  Plus 240V circuits are usually on larger breakers to accommodate the larger wattage and amperage.

thanx for the explanation

but what 'll happen if i ran this psu on 180 volt ?

the problem is where i live we have public problem in voltage normal voltage is 170-200 volt varying all over the day according to the load
this is the cause to look for a psu 100-240

It will not power on at 180V.  The minimum is 200V

well I lived some time ago in the place that had similar as you described problems with electricity
and they only way to solve that problems was to by stabilizer - these thing you can but for different power
they are working from 145V  to 260V input, and give stable 220+-10V output

find one for 10-15KVA - that's the one you need and your problem with electricity will vanish and you'll be able to use normal power supply

DO YOU HAVE  any buying links for good ones?
here all the stabilizers are of low quality

Instead of trying to find a server PSU with those specs maybe you should consider upgrading your electrical circuitry. As the above poster described:

This is why 2400 watt PSUs will only work on 220-240V.

thanx 4 advice
as i said
where i live we have public problem in voltage ..
normal voltage is 170-200 volt varying all over the day according to the load

You could consider a Quick220 to run a 240V PSU from two 120V circuits of opposite phase. It won't gain you much if you're planning to scale up, however.
