240v outlets is a good start but main question that remains is how much power are they good for? Remember, today's miners all pull over 3kw each.

Two outlets each on a 20amp circuit should be okay.

Two outlets sharing a 30 amp circuit borderline
Two outlets sharing a 20amp circuit is a fail.

A 70th s17 is about 2900-3100 watts or 12-13 amps

two are 24-26 amps so they wont be able to share a 20amp and are borderline for a 30 amp circuit.

they do about 23000 to 25000 btus of heat.

So, it's okay to have one ASIC's dual-corded PSU run on two separate breakers? I was wondering about this myself the other day. What happens if -- for whatever reason -- only one of the circuits trip? Does the whole ASIC shut down or could something worse happen?
