Title: APW5 PSU by Antminer Post by: btcromania on July 07, 2017, 10:32:03 AM Hello all, i need some suggestions:
I have an APW5 psu. I've bought it as a powers supply for 2 R4. Now, one of my R4 is on the way to be repaired and i have an S9 more. My voltage is 220v, so the maximum powers of this PSU results 2600W. The question is: can i plug on this PSU a R4 and a S9? Thanks all Title: Re: APW5 PSU by Antminer Post by: cryptomozzies on July 08, 2017, 05:45:47 AM I think it should work, but I'm not 100% sure on this, since the total watt usage you have is probably around 2100W and the PSU does 2600W at 230V. From what I've noticed these asic miners require a PSU that has at least 30%-40% more than the required watt capacity of the miner.
It definitely would not work with 2 S9s though ;) Title: Re: APW5 PSU by Antminer Post by: HagssFIN on July 08, 2017, 01:10:30 PM The "more capacity than needed" principle is not the case with server grade psu's.
This APW5 can take the rated max. capacity. I suggest you have a dedicated 230V 16A circuit for it, so only 1x APW5 connected to that circuit. |
