Title: Outlet type for 220V Line - Going to PDU Post by: Didley1JT on September 08, 2017, 05:43:48 PM I'm going to start with two 220V/2400W Parallel Miner PSUs.
Going to have a PDU going to the 220V line. What Outlet type should I be looking for? L6-30? Title: Re: Outlet type for 220V Line - Going to PDU Post by: oscargate on September 08, 2017, 05:48:03 PM Check the specifications on your PDU on the manufacturer website. The APC PDUs I've used are all L6-30R, which are about $20 at Lowes for a 30A 240V L6-30R receptacle.

I hadn't decided which to use yet, so I wanted to be sure I wasn't limiting myself by selecting a certain plug (electrician was asking). Tripp lite also uses L6-30R, so I'll go with that. Title: Re: Outlet type for 220V Line - Going to PDU Post by: rjg on September 08, 2017, 08:55:48 PM L6-30R seems to be really common.
I purchased the receptacles myself and handed them over to the electrician when he came to wire everything up. Title: Re: Outlet type for 220V Line - Going to PDU Post by: oscargate on September 08, 2017, 09:12:05 PM What kinda costs are you guys seeing to have electrician do per 240V outlet? Anyone pay for a new subpanel?

Anyone pay for a new subpanel? Mine ran just shy of $400 for 2 X 220v 30A circuits. This included running the wiring, the new 30A breakers, and replacing some existing breakers with duplex breakers to make room as my panel was full. Title: Re: Outlet type for 220V Line - Going to PDU Post by: Didley1JT on September 08, 2017, 11:00:40 PM He charged me $290 to run a 220V outlet from the existing panel and add a 30amp breaker.

I just started another thread asking people about PDUs. I like the price on the one you showed me for sure. Does it provide any surge protection? There wasn't anything in the description and I didn't find any sites that said it did.

Title: Re: Outlet type for 220V Line - Going to PDU Post by: Didley1JT on September 09, 2017, 12:23:02 AM I didn't even know those were a thing.
I'll have to put one of those in if I do anything more than the 4-8 miners I can run off the current breaker. He quoted me what it would cost to put in another 220V distribution line (~$2500) so I'd be able to expand to up to 16 miners, but I decided to go slow and minimize the start-up costs until I have a better handle of what I'm doing. So the HP PDU doesn't have surge protection? I was looking at Tripp Lite, but they seem relatively expensive for what they're doing.

The highest end pdus don't so for the most part using a whole house protector is the way to go. The pdu is fused. The psu is fused. Are you in a thunderstorm prone state?

In fact, I have two garage door openers. Both got knocked out during thunderstorms. No tripped breaker or anything. Pretty aggravating, to be honest...

Title: Re: Outlet type for 220V Line - Going to PDU Post by: QuintLeo on September 09, 2017, 08:13:52 PM L6-30R is probably the most common PDU plug type by a wide margin.
It can often be less expensive to wire up multiple 6-15 or 6-20 outlets to that same 220 line so you don't NEED a PDU though.

It can often be less expensive to wire up multiple 6-15 or 6-20 outlets to that same 220 line so you don't NEED a PDU though. yeah he could do 2 l6-20r outlets and buy 2 of these plugs http://www.bestmaterials.com/detail.aspx?ID=14826 buy 2 of these power cords https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24207 then cut off one end and put the plug onto it. these would go into the 2400 watt psu. 2 per 30 amp circuit breaker. but it does involve a bit of wiring skill and you really should have a whole hows surge protector with this as you bypassed the pdu.

NEMA 6-15 would be enough for a 2400 watt power supply running at 220. There are several companies that make "NEMA 6 plug to standard C13 or standard C19" type power cords - Americable and Iron Box come immediately to mind.

something like that should work. And 12awg should be plenty for 1 PSU. Title: Re: Outlet type for 220V Line - Going to PDU Post by: philipma1957 on September 10, 2017, 01:51:49 PM yeah it does works or this pdu
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-HP-EO4501-Server-Power-Distribution-Module-228481-002/232449268221? at 40 notice the 2 sold that was me. it has 4 outlets these cords are 14 awg https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24206 2 of them are about 8 plus shipping so 15 so 55 bucks and he is all plug n play for the 2400 watt from parallelminer remember he put in the l6-30r already I have the pdu and the psu I am waiting for the power cord from monoprice. |
