Hi Sidehack,
Thx for taking the time to answer the question. Wish I had done this research the first go around Smiley In general, do folks who go 240v save a substantial amount of money for electricity compared to those running 120v?

TxSteve,
Got it. I've been running just 1 S9 off one circuit so if I'm understanding correctly balancing is not an issue in those cases?

NotFuzzyWarm,
Thanks

Hi, not sure how many amps those S9 pull so you still have to worry about overloading the circuit. I ended up running all new circuits to my data room because older house and too many unknowns to be running 24/7 on old wiring

 but balancing shouldn't be an issue on 1 rig

240v electric is  a little more efficient so you'll save a little on electric, not much.  but it's cheaper to install because you don't run a neutral, so less wire.

2 120v circuits will use twice as much wire as 1 240v circuit, which means less wires in the conduit & less heat buildup, so less conduit too
