Hi everyone

I need help with choosing a PDUs for my sets

I will order 40 pcs of scrypt miners witch will draw 2.5kw/h each
I will probably hire a professional electrician to setup the power panels, but I need advice

In general, we've had good success with APC. Very reliable and easy to manage.

Currently we're using a model that attaches vertically to the rack. I don't remember the model number, but can look that up if it's interesting.

We've had terrible luck with Tripplite, including diode problems that ultimately killed every unit of the specific model we had.

Hope that helps...

what is a PDU ?

"power distribution unit"
so called transformer controller to join panels on main network
never hear called big ones as pdu
controller makes you able to sell electricity to local your power company( if you have some left over after mining..)

Yes please can you give me some models. I will probably need 100 amp 208v 3 phase per rack mean 10 miners/rack that's about 30kw if I am not wrong. 5.75kw per 20 amps 3 phase 208v.



I've been tinging about this company HashCoins located in Estonia they have 2 options for me Uranus v1 Miner for SHA-256 and Ares Miner for scrypt

Uranus v1 Miner uses 1.6kw 6th/s SHA-256
Ares Miner uses 2.5kw 256mh/s scrypt

The profit per month is almost equal I can use same power for 16x Uranus v1 Miner instead of 10 x Ares Miner

Do you thing that 2 PDUs per rack 60 amps 208v 3 phase could do the job or thats too much power for single rack.
