Title: Can i set an Antminer S1 to plug directly into an outlet?
Post by: jphelps on November 17, 2017, 12:38:02 AM
So im wanting to 2 S1's and i know that they usually use 450-500w, and i dont want to buy 2 PSU's so i was wandering if there was a way to wire a plug from the S1 so i can plug it into my wall? Sorry if its a dumb question, im just curious   ;D

it can't be, you can't use 220 v voltage.

While the resulting explosion may be fun to watch you really shouldnt do that. Miners run on 12 volt DC current. A power supply is just an AC/DC transformer.

Do you see anything resembling an AC power connector on the miner? No.
The miners run on 12VDC. What provides that power? A PSU...

I know there is a saying that "there are no stupid questions", but this just might reach to that point that this is a stupid question.

Ignoring the terrible idea of you burning down your house.

Why not buy 1 PSU to run both of the miners. I did that when I bought my first s5's, I picked up a PSU and ran 3 of them off it.
