Title: Trying to avoid burning down my home Post by: Takyeon on April 21, 2022, 06:38:51 AM I am not a certified electrician but I do want to know what type of AMP power my wall socket should be to run a single 2500watt mining rig, pls if you have clue do not hesitate to share, I've heard cases of burning home 🏠due to mining rig starting fire.

2500w at 220v would need 15amp socket So i would go the higher Voltage route and use a Nema 15amp twist lock plug (most of my farm is on these but we have 240v) Formula is Watts needed / Voltage = Amps. Always round up…ALWAYS…and best to add a few more amps for safety.

This will depend on several factors. To be able to help, I will need to know, what is the voltage of your electrical network and how many volts your mining works. EDIT: Another question: do you have an exclusive circuit for mining, or do you have other equipment connected to the same circuit? |
