Title: Antminer APW3++ Power Cord Help Post by: andynov123 on June 14, 2018, 03:38:42 PM Hi,
I bought some antminer z9's and I'm trying to figure out the best solution to power it. I'm looking at the APW3++ PSU and I'm trying to figure out if I can use the following cable with it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-APW3-PSU-Power-Supply-Cord-for-Antminer-Bitcoin-Dash-BTC-L3-D3-S9-ETH/391998011172?epid=20013923288&hash=item5b44e6f724:g:uVIAAOSwfXFapUkY (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-APW3-PSU-Power-Supply-Cord-for-Antminer-Bitcoin-Dash-BTC-L3-D3-S9-ETH/391998011172?epid=20013923288&hash=item5b44e6f724:g:uVIAAOSwfXFapUkY) Can I use that and plug it in a normal outlet or will there will issues? I've seen these plugs as well, which I wouldn't be able to use which is the start of my concern. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/0p8AAOSwFHNaz2jT/s-l500.png I also looked at PSU, but I'm concerned about getting one that doesn't have enough cables to power the Antminer Z9. Any advice on this issue is greatly appreciated. Title: Re: Antminer APW3++ Power Cord Help Post by: philipma1957 on June 14, 2018, 04:10:23 PM maybe maybe not
are you usa based? will you use 120 volts? you will melt an 18 awg wire will you use 240 volts? you may not melt an 18 awg wire a 14 awg wire is dead solid zero issues with 120 volts or with 240 volts. I never bother with 18 awg wires and if it was up to me I would shut that link down since I know some will try to run that psu on 120 watts and melt the wire buy these instead https://www.ebay.com/itm/Monoprice-6ft-14AWG-Power-Cord-Cable-w-3-Conductor-PC-Power-Socket-C13-5-15P/371946508242? good company good price Title: Re: Antminer APW3++ Power Cord Help Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on June 14, 2018, 05:19:07 PM Personally if you are in the USA I'd first check Overstock dot com (https://www.overstock.com/shop/IEC-cord,Monoprice,/k,brand,/results.html) for the simple reason being that they happily take BTC for payment.
