That will be one miner per 15 Amp circuit.

So 20 miners total? Electrician installed 20 lines

Did you see that I said 7 rigs in my next message,
just like DaveF said.

7 rigs is the max. in your setup, with that panel, 120V, and those rigs you described.

The rest 13x circuits will remain empty, because you have already maxxed the 100A panel.
I don't know what your electrician has been thinking (or if he even put any thought in to it) when he created that system with 20x 15A circuit, with 100A panel.

You were also explained the math here, so I don't know how you think you could put 20 rigs there.

Well 120V * 100A * 2 poles =24,000W

Let's go 80% max load to be safe. Round it to 20,000W

20,000/1300W =15.38

Lets round it up to 16 as miners dont all pull 1300.

a nice try on your part.

it all depends on the main breakers.

I hove 2 hots and a ground coming in.

each carry 120 volts and each are attached to a 150amp breaker as I have 150 amp service.

but the breaker is tied together.

So the question is do you trip at 150+150 = 300 amps

or do you trip at 150 amps

in your case you are saying the 100 amp breaker is not linked

so your service is more like 100+100 = 200 at 120.

BTW. lets say the main breaker works as you say.

110 x 200 x .80 = 17600 /1300 = 13.5 rigs

or 6 on each pole

assuming that the mains will work like you think it works.

ie 100+100 =200 total
vs 100

using 110 is better than 120 since voltage sag happens in hot months.

Also make very sure you have this balanced and the loads are on each pole the same.

good luck as I think it should be interesting to see if you 100 amp breaker handles 100 + 100 = 200 amps.

Thx!!!
