With a standard 100 amp residential supply my consumer unit is split up with a number of RCD's.
My garage which hosts all my mining equipment has an RCD of B40 (I assume that's 40 amps), on the main board, with an RCD in the garage too.
Does this mean the totality of my miner consumption must not exceed 40amps, calculated as PSU Watts/240V.
For example if I have an Antminer S4, which has a 1.4kW PSU, this is consuming 5.8amps? Therefore I can only have 40/5.8 = 6 S4's on this RCD?
Or is the consumption and the RCD related in a different way.
The reason I ask is that if was to bulk buy the 16 S4's from Bitmain (ignore ROI for now
), I would need effectively 4 B40 RCD's?
Have I understood that correctly?
Thanks
Rob
