I have built a few of these to run small mining farms it will reduce your power cost to almost nothing.
Currently it costs me about $35.00 a month to run 10x Z9 and Z9 minis at my home. That is running the electric motor 24/7
from my home electricity while producing hundreds of dollars more electric to run my miners. The generator head is a PMG type.

The inverter I have listed has many great features, has built in battery charger for emergencies,
all lines have line out for direct connection to breaker box, has power plugs also.

Total cost is about $3000 to build and can be used to power other things such as a house if you aren't a miner.

The generator head is turned by the 1/4 hp electric motor it costs about 35 a month to run that motor 24/7 from my home wiring.
The motor turns the generator head which in turn keeps the batteries charged to run the inverter.

If I plug my miners in my home wiring my electric is over 400 a month.

So it is cheaper to run the electric motor on my home wiring then it is to run the miner on home wiring..

The inverter is 15kw-60kw output which is enough to run many miners.
(This same amount of electric on a home line would cost you hundreds of dollars per month)

The generator head produces 2000 watts of 24vdc we now use the inverter to convert the 2000 watts dc back into 60000watts ac useable power.

If you have enough to spare you could run the electric motor from the inverter also which would then create a loop and run 100% free.

This setup isn't for people running 1 or 2 miners unless they are high power use machines.
It was designed for a system that uses 3kw or higher amounts of electricity to reduce their power costs.

Electric price breakdown.....

Miners on home power $400+ to electric company
Miners on inverter system $35 a month to electric company
Inverter system on regular batt charger $100 a month to electric company
Inverter system on loopbacked electric motor $0 monthly cost (not recommended for mining)

No matter what you wont get 60kw of power from the electric company for $35 a month with this setup you can and 60kw is enough to run a couple houses.

Cheapest option for stable mining is the $35 a month option.

Basically you are building a wind system without the wind and using the electric motor to be your wind.

You can find many videos online with various configurations Missouri Wind and Solar has helped me with setup and design of different systems.
If you live on a river you can use water instead of the electric motor to run the generator.

This setup will produce a max of 60000 watts of AC electricity rated @55 amps of 220vac.

I use 24v batteries but the diagram is setup to use 12v to create your 24v battery bank.

This is a 110/220vac system the inverter will provide 110 or 220 vac. The electric motor drives the generator to keep your system running.
You can either loop-back the motor to the inverter or you can run it from your household electric.

If you have any questions please ask and I will assist you as much as I can.

Hello I've seen the diagram and i think it's good to keep your miners running. One thing I must suggest that you must have another electric motor on standby . You cannot run a motor continuously for 24/7 12months a year. It needs lubrication and maintenance too. May I know what types of motor are you using now?
