I sure hope it has a split rail output. That's over 200 amps at 12V. If one of those wires gets shorted, it will not pass enough current to trip the power supply if it's single rail. The wire will be glowing orange until it melts or sets the whole thing on fire.
I want to know what household grid actually supplies that electricity at 200A, in any case.
The power supply will only draw around 11 amps from the wall at 240 volts. It steps that down to 12 volts to produce 200 amps.
Makes sense.
