Title: Going to 240 volts. Questions... Post by: Pipesnake on August 17, 2011, 01:58:11 AM 1) Is it as easy as flipping the switch on the back of the PSU and getting some plug adapters?
2) What is a "safe" amount of juice to pull through a single outlet? Is 10 amps ok? 15? Title: Re: Going to 240 volts. Questions...

All the ones I have are auto switching, but the ones with a switch on the back that read 110v or 240v shout work once switched to the 240v side.2) What is a "safe" amount of juice to pull through a single outlet? Is 10 amps ok? 15? Depends on what the wiring size, and what the outlet was designed for. I ran a new line for my 240v drop, enough to handle 30 amps.Title: Re: Going to 240 volts. Questions...

You should use a 220 volt receptacle however so no one is tempted to fry other equipment that expects 110. Title: Re: Going to 240 volts. Questions...

May I ask what you're pulling through each outlet?http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012VN0I0 And I'm currently only pulling 8 amps, but I'm still adding to my miners. Title: Re: Going to 240 volts.
