Power Consumption is 1296 Watt for a set of miners.



then consider that circuit done.  since you do not know if the wire gauge is correct.



I redid my house the vast majority of my wiring is 10 gauge and 20 amp 120 volt service


 10 gauge is very hard to wire with but  since I was out of work back in the late 90's I did 1 circuit at at time in 10 gauge wire.

  Talk about good luck I beat the price jump in copper wire and upgraded  a 100 amp 20 breaker box  to a 200 amp 40 breaker box.

I did all the work except the ac line which was 6 gauge 220 volt 40 amp line.  So I left that alone.

 When every thing was done except the 200 amp box I hired a guy to hook the 200 amp box up.  As I did not want to do the pair of 120 lines that come into my home.

So I have 24000 watts I have pushed 10000 watts  for a month mining with gpus in the winter of 2012-2013.  my house was a freakin oven!  10 f outside 84 f inside.
