Title: Power Socket Question Post by: overcon on November 15, 2017, 06:35:59 PM I have a socket that I was thinking of using to run an S9 on. The socket reads NENA L14-50-R 50A 125/250V
Can I get an adapter to plug one of the Bitmain 1600W Bitmain APW3++ PSU into it or is the socket running too much power at 50A to be safe?

It will help you decide on the final size if the circuit.
The PDU Phil refers to is nice, I took his advice previously and grabbed a few, so I could grow into the space without adding receptacles or upgrading the circuitry beyond my 30 amps that are there. You will also want to change the breaker that feeds that receptacle. Always best to keep the circuit breaker and receptacles rated the same. |
