Hey guys,

I am a complete noob when it comes to this and what gear i should have for my electricity setup. I have an A3 on the way and will be my first time mining so just need some advice on the electricity setup etc. I am living in the EU and my house has 250v setup i think, i will post pictures of the breaker and electricity box for reference. I am just wondering firstly what PSU should i purchase? I think the APW3++ should be ok from what research i have done but maybe there are cheaper/ better options i don't know. I am also looking at getting a PDU and wondering what specifications i should be looking for with that, i am on a budget so the cheaper the better of course but ultimately i want to make sure that when i am mining it is safe i.e i don't overload the circuit and have an extra fire risk.

The specs of the miner are like this...
DC voltage input: 11.60~13.00 V
DC current input @12V DC: 98.8 A +7%
DC Power @12V DC input: 1186 W +7%
220VAC Power @25℃, 93% conversion efficiency of APW3: 1275 W + 7%
220VAC Power efficiency @25℃,93% conversion efficiency of APW3: 1.56 mJ/MH + 7%

Am i right in thinking that the way to calculate amperage is by dividing the miner wattage around 1300w by the circuit volatge 250v so around 5.9amps for the miner? Also i think that in my house all the sockets in the downstairs part of the house are on the same circuit so thats quite a few devices etc, how do you know how much each circuit can handle?

As i said i will attach pictures to help anyone that understands electrics see how my setup is, all in all i am just a little confused with amps and how much a circuit particular circuit can handle. Any advice on how to understand and what psu/ pdu would be suitable for me would be greatly appreciated cheers guys!

P.S on a side note i live in a very hot country in the main part of summer July/Aug the temps regularly exceed 40+ celsius whats the best way to keep the miner cool? Or is it almost impossible at those temps?
