I'm in USA so 120 volt or 110 not sure.

What is the highest I can put my ASIC Voltage to without it breaking/popping any circuits?

Power cost is not the concern and I'm pretty sure the max power draw is 1300 watts from the AMP3++ power supply from bitmain?

I want highest hash rate possible... POWER cost is not a problem the only problem is popping a circuit!


Thanks

Your supply will only give you 1200watts at 120v. So you can't go much higher without killing the supply or starving the boards.

The above is correct but to answer the rest of your question : look in your breaker box. are they 15amp breakers or 20 or what..
take that and x 110 (thought technically 120/240 - real world best to base your math on 110/220)  this will give you  the wattage that
the WHOLE circuit can run..at MAX if your wires are crappy and barely acceptable for the amps you will be drawing they will get hot.. (gotter the closer you get to max..)  so lets say 15  so that is a max of 1650.. (oh wait keep in mind your psu will draw MORE than the 1200 it is giving to the machine.. by like.. alot. )  so realistically.. you can do it on 15 amp breakers IF you have pretty much NOTHING else on the circuit.. how to find out? flip a breaker.. what all went off... that;s all on the same circuit. voila.


my bad.. the rest of HIS question. sorry still getting coffee in me.


I think you missed my question. I understand that my power supply will only use up to its maximum but what ASIC voltage setting is that? 13/13/13 or could it be 1/20/1 or what happens if I do 20/20/20 is it going to pop a circuit? The whole point is I'm trying to not pop a circuit at all so let's my setting is 15 amps (just guessing) what does that come down to in terms of asic voltage 13/13/13? 15/15/15 or how can I know? Flipping a breaker is what I'd like to avoid completely!

This you can´t answer in General, because every Miner and hashboard is different.

you guys should look at getting 240v circuit. the one used for dryers here.. you can go upto 50Amps on that and can run 3 D3's easily on a single circuit.

The D3 on a 220 line uses about 6amps and on a 110 about 8amps... you should be using a 220 line to get the most out of the unit. I am able to run 2 D3s and 1 L3 on a 20amp 220 line with no issues at all. The D3s are using about 925w of power at 16.6GH and the L3 using 810w and in total with all three units are using 11.3 amps in total. If you are popping a breaker with one D3 you have something else on the line.

On a side note with all these users that claim "electric is not an issue" because they get it included in their rent, I suggest you read your lease very closely. If the landlord sees that much of a spike in the electric bill, don't expect them to pay for it and if you do, don't expect to renew your lease. trying to run a device that would be the same as a second refrigerator and expecting the landlord to pay for it is a little naive. Normally the wording in a lease is "electric included within reason"... meaning if you over use the electric they can charge you for it. Or they could just change all of the breakers to your apt to 15amp and tie them into multiple lines so you will just keep popping them.
