Hey Gents,
Appreciate the patience as I go through this.
This could also be a noob question so please bear with me.
I have access to an Industrial Site with a 600 AMP Single Phase Power in the US with very favourable power costs.
I am trying to figure out how many 1KWh Miners I can put on this service without killing/burning anyone.
I will need 10 KWh for support equipment such as switches, routers, monitors etc.
Thanks once again, I have tried to look for answers online but getting a little confused with line voltage etc.
Thanks
 



The electrician that i consulted stated that when calculating 24/7 loads one should not exceed 80% of their rated max capacity. So take 600amps x .80 = 480amps of absolute max 24/7 capacity. If you're running 3 phase 208v power, multiply 208v X 480 = 99,840 MAX 24/7 load. S9's realistically pull 1350-1400 watts so 99,840/1400 = 70 S9's safely. However, that does not account for cooling and\or ventilation, lighting, networking equipment, etc. so you probably need to shave a little out of there to account for those loads.
