Speaking as a BSEE, the 240V 'leak' is either due to the building wiring or due to very poor design (or both). If possible, try plugging both the computer and the RAID array into the same outlet (I don't know if your in the US or not, so I don't know if your standard voltage is 120V or 240V). In any case, I would very strongly suggest you find the problem and fix it, as it could prove to be fatal.
