I do understand that PDUs distributes power. But i suppose that we're good to go, since we installed 1 plug point for each miners. Isn't that so?

Why would we need PDUs, since we can just install one plug point per miner? Is there something im missing out?

It sounds like you are good to go for your current setup! The only reason you would need a PDU is if you want more miners and you dont have enough space in your main electrical panel to wire in another plug. Is that making a little bit more sense?

Thank you very much for the explaination!

so you want to do

30 amp
fuse in box..................plug in wall..........plug in wall........... plug in wall......... plug in wall...........plug in wall.......plug in wall

correct? so 3x 2 plug receptacles are 38 bucks

6 special power cables are 90 bucks that is 128 dollars.

you need 3 wallplates and 3 boxes for the walls as I for one would not put all into a 3 gang box. so 10 -15 more.

so 153 in parts. no extra fuse protection offered by the pdu.

but i do not know full code for your area.

I am usa based so code for above is this receptacle wait for link

now see photo below 12.72 for one which does 2 plugs

if you do a 30 amp fuse at the box and buy 3 of these you could do 5 s-9's at full speed or 6 s-9's with a down clock.

Does that mean that PDUs is much more cost effective as compared to plugging it directly to the wall?
