okay so question. I am running several sets of 2 miner on 20 Amp Breakers. 12 gauge wire. No issues.

I am getting a few more miners soon, my breaker box is full.

So I see no issue my changing the 20 Amp Breakers to 30 Amp Breakers, and then putting 3 miners on each circuit, that is what I have read here.

If this is the case, can I keep 12 gauge wire (will three miners work ok hooked up to a 30 Amp breaker running on 12 gauge wire?)

Or do I need to go with 10 Gauge wire? The distance from the outlet to the breaker box is less than 3 feet, very close..

Dumb question, I know 40 amp breakers are available, why not go with those, or best to keep the 30 amp?

Thank you!

You size the wire to the breaker regardless of the load.

20A breaker 12GA wire
30A breaker 10GA wire

You also will need to install the correct outlet for the amperage as well.

Because it's all very short and I ASSume out in the open doing this correctly should be relatively easy or cheap if you pay an electrician.
