It must be right in the feels trying to power miners in the US. In the UK a socket is a socket, and more than likely its got a 32A (which is really 40A 24/7) 240V circuit behind it.

Right in the feels is exactly how I would describe it. You can barely power a duel GPU workstation and some lights in a room before tripping a circuit.




there is also this

also a version of this with diff 220v plug at the other end from the dryer outlet...can't find a pic but they exist



There are similar cords designed for RVs, yes, but they don't have multiple outlets nor do they have the right outlets. This is purpose built. Trust me, if i could have just grabbed that off the shelf, I would have.

yeah no issues..just thought the thread was important for various options...stuff like this exists..had more then 1 person say they had no options ..and used to have
the links to post them to such adapters (even if temp use say till they got an electrician in for their miner arrival)

your setup looks just fine to me! by the by

anyway..options options



Ah if there are already ones out there, i would be interested to find them. While I made these to power S1s, I thought more people might be interested in them because of the huge power draw from single units such as with the SP30 (or 35, whatever). The 2500 watts needed will trip any standard household circuit in the US.

Also, I did the same thing as that other guy, at first I had an electrician convert the outlet to 4 220v outlets for a few hundred bucks. I believed I could do better.
