Hello,

The PSU is 220v, we dont have 110v at this moment.
We may customize some when we have more order from US market,.
With the miners drawing between 1,800w and 2,000w do not even try designing the PSU to run on 110V.  Some uninformed customers may ask about it but they do not realize what trying to supply that much power using 110v line means.

In North America standard 110v receptacles are only rated 15A (1,650w). Running higher loads on 110v would require installation of a 25A 110v line and receptacle. If a new receptacle and line are needed, is just easier (and better) to have 220v service installed.

It would need to be a 3 psu   or 2 psu setup on standard usa 110 volt sockets  and that brings you other issues.

Ie the psu's need 2 circuits to work at 110 volts.

When I get mine I will demo running it on 110/120 volts as I have places with multiple 120 volt circuits.

To all USA miners  getting a 30 amp 240 volt circuit and using a pdu is well worth it.

My video channel shows a 30 amp pdu  running at 240 volts.  I am using 13 -14 of those amps.

Note 30 amp pdu's fuse to 24 amps  to make sure you do not use too much power 24 x 240 = 5760 watts

my 220/240 volt setup runs at 239 to 243 volts

some places in the usa you could be as low as 217 volts  which is  24 x 217 = 5208 watts
