Title: How can I get a power cord for my Avalone 2x741 power supply?
Post by: jimmy_007vn on November 07, 2017, 06:25:33 AM
I just got my Avalons 741x2. There is an outlet inside my apartment look like the picture below. I usually use it for my AC unit. Can someone advise me where to buy a cord to connect the PSU to the wall to run 2 Avalon.
Please help.

Phil, i looked at this PDU on ebay, do you think it will work with 20A outlet?

What type of PSU are you using? You might not need a PDU as you won't have a lot of room to expand your mine off that outlet anyways, tops one more Avalon 741.

Here is an option, it even leaves a little room for more powerful miners in the future. They are good to deal with and can give you a lot of useful information.

That pdu is for a 30 amp circuit you have a 20 amp plug.  Like me look for some links

@Phil: i think 30A pdu should work with 20a outlet. 30A is how much load the PDU could handle, and our outlet only provide maximum of 20A. Correct me if im wrong.

im using 2x650W PSU for computer to power up the Avalon.

Well  here is the deal.  a 30 amp pdu  can have 24 amp hooked up to it 24/7/365

if you  swap out the plug  it will connect to your 20 amp  circuit  and if you do 3 avalon 741's  you are fine if you load the 4th one you are not fine.

but if you  get this

https://www.amazon.com/NEMA-6-20P-C13-Power-Cord/dp/B004WJNVH4/ref=sr_1_3?

you can do 2 avalon 741's



you can use up to 15amps on the setup.  and 2 avalon 741's are about  9-11 amps
with this outlet in your place

Phil, i measured my outlet last night, it's 240V, 20A. So it will provide me 240x20 = 4800W. that mean I could run up to 4 Avalon right?

Post by: Steamtyme on November 08, 2017, 09:04:10 PM
No, because the draw of each Avalon is approximately 5 amps, so 4 will have you tripping the breaker. When I went up to 4 units I upgraded to a 30 amp circuit, and then a PDU.
