I got 2 but planning to run only 1 in my apartment.

Well, I am planning to use the APW3++. It says that it wont provide more than 1200 W if ran from 110 V. My initial plan was to use one of the GFCI (https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFCI) from the bathroom or kitchen since they have desicated 15 A breakers. But of APW3++ cant give the A3 more than 1200 W, theb I am SOL, right? That is when I started researching about using dryer plug.

Why do you think a sungle A3 should be fine to run from a 15A 120 V if the AWP3++ cant do well on 120 V? Sad

If it will work, i will just use the GFCI

Keep in mind, electric in the USA is 120v, not 110v (1440W usable continuous on 15A).

I was running 2x vega 56s, 1x vega 64, and a L3+ overclocked (920W at the kill-a-watt using APW3++) on the same 15A 120v circuit. The breaker only tripped when my wife turned on the hair dryer.

Oh ya, My TV, laptop, and stereo amplifier are also on that circuit... So was the christmas tree over the holidays..

I see what you're saying, at 120V the APW3++ would only put out 103A DC (1236W).

If you just need to host the one, just get the adapter.

I'm using the APW3++ with a S9 and it's running fine on 110v

The S9 is ~1323W and the A3 ~1200W why you say that the APW3++ can't be used with the A3?

The S9 draws 6.5 amps at 240v. That's 1560 watts. I have a metered PDU so I know what I am talking about. Bitmain even says the APW3++ will not output 1600watts without 240v voltage.

Please read again what I wrote: If that's the case, why am I using the APW3++ with a S9 and it's running fine on 120v? Maybe the S9 you have is a 14 TH unit. Those are more power hungry and consume over 1600 watts: https://youtu.be/sz-XZL77qqs?t=330

It is running fine now on 120v but I believe you are stressing the unit at the extreme of its performance envelope and will eventually lead to premature failure. I have 13.5 TH unit.

Running that close to tolerance creates a risk of "voltage drop" in the line as well. I've heard that is also very risky to your unit. Anyone else know about this?
