How many watts will this PSU give me on 110v.? this is for an S9i

Well, it is a kit of two 750W PSUs. It looks like each PSU outputs max 750W on either voltage, so you should be able to get max 1500W from both of them.

I don't know how safe this setup is, considering this bolded line from their description:

... Hashboard #2 will be powered using 2 PSUs, to avoid the possibility of damaging the board connect the included fault protection kit to the breakout boards ...

Each PSU is rated at 92% efficiency... soooo when you do the math:

750 * 2 = 1500 - 8% = 1380

Meaning... roughly 1380 watts of usable power. The rest if waste heat.

Based on how they describe it, the PSU will provide 1500W. Just remember on 110V, you will be pulling twice the amps compared to running on 220V

Each PSU is rated at 92% efficiency... soooo when you do the math:

750 * 2 = 1500 - 8% = 1380

I might be wrong but I think the efficiency calculation goes the other way.

1500/.92=1630

Yeah 1630 at the wall.  

But they want to use some kind of kit so the ground becomes common and you don’t short the middle board.

There is photo showing how it works.

You're not wrong, I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote that >_<
