How are people able to get more electricity than what the state allows? I am in Florida and was informed I can only get 200 Amp to the house .
you can get 200 amp to your garage , they cant stop that
200 amps is already huuuge ...
the key thing is get those amps compatible with 220-240v instead of US default 110v
My question would be why would you want 200 amps of miners in your home garage in Florida!?!? I'm in Florida as well and unless you have some sort of complex airflow or hvac setup, there's no way you're going to want to put that many miners in your home garage. I can't even imagine what living with the noise of that would be like either. If you're going to big you should rent out a small warehouse/garage where the power will likely be available and you'll have better airflow solutions. The cost of renting a place out would be negligible if you're running with some of the new ASICS out there that are extremely profitable.
In florida you can use a cheap swamp cooler setup that uses water to cool the garage, 240v can be wired for single phase for 200 amp quite easily , 200 amp or 160amp of rigs wont be that loud if you use normal quiet PSU's and if its detached whats the big deal with noise
I suppose the noise wouldn't be an issue if it's a detached garage, but I have a whole thread where we discuss the cooling options of a mining operation in Florida. Most people agreed that a swamp cooler setup wouldn't be effective as it would be too humid in Florida to do any good, so the best setup everyone agreed on is simply massive and well directed airflow, again adding to the noise.
What kind of fans would you recommend? I actually just started a thread on this but I might as well just ask here..
I'm building 2 new rigs this week and putting them in the garage, then I might decide to slowly move my other 9 rigs to the garage if I can cool properly.
).
I however am still trying to come up with a solution to be able to stack fans on top of each other under a large roll up garage door, haven't found a solution for that yet.
