Its reading 5.9A at 240v at the wall, so 1416w with an APW3++ power supply. Its also mining a little faster than usual at 835GH, so that may be why its high.
At 120v, it would be pulling 12A..so better have a dedicated circuit for it!

I'm using 3 power supplies to power a A3 using 120v power. The miner takes almost 1500 watts using a watt meter.

What? No. I'm using 1 APW3++ using 120v. No issue at all. Consuming ~1,200 Watts

well wtf I must have just wasted a ton of money buying a second PSU because I thought my miner would have many hardware errors and screw up from being on 120v Embarrassed

Someone posted it is taking as much as 1500 W. What is the real truth?

I am in the same problem too. 120v and planning to use 2 power supplies.

Guess you could always underclock it to a lower frequency on a 120v to reduce wattage draw, and run it off a 20 amp circuit

Never had a bitmain asic before. Is it simple? Do you have an A3? Can you share what exactly to change bring this to 1200 W? Will that void the warranty or any other potential damage to the device? I understand that it will bring the hashrate down. But will avoid many issues for me.
