****I did create a new username because the last one was not the best and I could not change it. This is not my first post.****
As tax return season is coming quickly (for most people with typical jobs) my wife and I have decide to pull the trigger and run electricity to the shed in the backyard and start scaling our mining operation up.
We currently have a free 50amp breaker from a hot tub that was removed before purchasing the home. The house is set up for 200amps total base on the main switch I see on the Electrical Panel in the garage.
We are in the process of getting bids to run a sub panel to the shed for the electric. But before we have electricians come out and ask us questions that may be over our heads (like how many 220v and 110v would we need etc.) I figured I would ask for a rough idea on here. You advise will be just that.... advise for me to continue to brain storm on and have the final plan up hopefully by Feb. 1.
I would like to have 3 220v outlets that I would have 3 PDU plugged into for the miners so that if a given.
How many 110v outlets would be needed for fan (3-4 box fans for movement and 3 450 cfm vortex fans for heat exhaust--cool air will be from passive cooling because of the negative pressure.
Questions I wanna know before I ask someone in person:
1. If my panel is only 200amp, can we reduce any amps for the bedrooms to give more Amps for the shed?
2. Can we add a brand new 200amp box just dedicated for the shed but would be billed on the same electric bill monthly? (might be a eclectic company question)
3. Can I put the electrical wiring and the Ethernet wiring in the same trench or run them on the fence line to the shed to save from not digging? (Shed is approx. 170ft away from panel)
any possible ideas, or other things to think about please let me know. I don't want to spend $1000-$2000 just installing electric when there might be better ways
