Title: Question on voltage & wiring
Post by: BTCTheGreat on November 06, 2017, 07:59:52 PM
I will be powering the S9 with the help of the electrician. The best method to do it is over 205 volt which is what I learned. In a line to line system, the third pin in the top middle is the ground right? There is no neutral? The machine should work with it?

DUDE, just plug it in and hope for the best at this point.

Honestly its an ATX style psu

and pin out tables for the rest,
if this helped feel free to tip.

Hi there,

Are you in North America, running off a residential service? If so make sure you are running on a 220v circuit, you can easily tell at the receptacle if you have a voltage tester. If not you can go to the panel, it will be a double pole breaker. You are right that the 2 lines are "hot" and no neutral, the pin would be your ground.

Also you should include what psu you are using, as it will be easier to verify if you are on the wrong track. 

If your electrician doesn't know how to wire a 220 volt plug or receptacle you might need a new one

There is not 220v in the US. It's 240v.
