I use 20amp 12awg wire to 220v outlets..if possible and you have like smaller 14 awg wire just replace a circuit or hack something together thru a piece of electrical conduit and replace and patch
when home mining is done

lots of youtube videos on such

anyway my basement stuff is all done on the above....all 220v

edit: by replace above I mean replace 14 awg wire and 15 amp breaker from box to 220 outlet with 12 awg wire and double pole 220v 20 amp breaker....you can use regular
awg 15 wire ..just mark the white wire at both ends (box and outlet) with black elec tape as they are both no hot thru the double pole breaker)

again youtube videos show all this..just edited to clarify

Yup, if your still dealing with 120v for mining your going to burn something down eventually (especially if the outlet is not near your panel).

This is what all my miners run off...DIY 240v junction boxes running 10AWG to 30A double pole breakers in panel (capable of at least 6kw continous draw per box). Each box has relays controlled by wireless pi's, so always have full remote control shutoff/start up for locked hardware etc.

Dont need to step foot in mine unless im adding new stuff Cheesy

How bout that for an equivalent of a 1K USD PDU unit for 50 bucks worth of parts Cool

I have a similar setup with a 220v on double 20 amp breakers for a single L3+. I also have 2x120v outlets each on their own 20amp breaker that I use to run my Titan. I'm feeling like I could run a lot more than I do on each circuit. If you're saying 6kw, does that mean you could run about 4xL3+ with a PDU solution assuming 80% load is safe?

I am thinking next go round I need to step up my game. I'm curious what I could get away with given my current panel situation. I don't have much room without adding a sub-panel. I'm guessing it wouldn't be too hard to convert my 2x120v to a single 220 double pole.
