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?


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.
