Title: T19 Antminer Noobie Setup Help - Power Supply Post by: boxels on December 01, 2021, 04:50:30 AM I am brand new to this and seem to have knowledge gap that I can't figure out.
I bought a brand new Ant Miner T19. It has two plugs. What cords do I need to have and what plugs do I need to use? FROM Compass Mining: Antminers need two (2) C13 to whatever receptacle your wall plug in takes. The power supply needs to be a 220v, 20 amp source. Each of the C13 cords should be a minimum of 14 gauge or thicker size and able to handle 220v. Here is a link to ones that I have purchased off of Amazon. However, you need to match the receptacle side of the cord to whatever your plug in type is. I bought the recommended cords: https://www.amazon.com/Iron-Box-Plug-Connector-Power/dp/B00CEZ2X54/ ` I bought two of them. I assumed I need to plug them into two 110/120 V separate powered plugs. But is this not the case? I assumed i need two 110/120 V plugs, 110/120 X 2 = 240, but this doesn't work? What is the setup I need to power this T19 Antminer rig? https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1944821/Bitmain-Antminer-T19.html?page=7#manual I do have an electrician coming to help me trouble shoot in a week, but am I to understand I plug two cords into the 220/240 outlet rather than the 110/120 V outlet?

Yes the miners use 208-240VAC. Why do folks keep asking about 120v when they are clearly spec'ed for 208-240? Hell, it's even stamped on the PSU, can't they read? As for where you got the idea that 2x 120v outlets might = 240v, that's one I've never heard before.... huh ??? If you are in North America you need a L6-15 or L6-20 outlet at the wall. A L6-20 duplex outlet (2 sockets) fused for 20A and L6-15 ends on the cords would be perfect as it protects the miner by having both power inlets protected by 1 fuse/breaker - no chance of blowing one feed while the other tries to stay alive... The C13 end is correct but frankly 18ga wire is too small, I prefer at least 16ga with 14ga cords being ideal. |
