Title: PDU and cables for s9 antminers? Post by: NateTGreat on November 11, 2017, 06:40:52 PM So, I just purchased x4 S9's and am looking to have everything ready to install the day they arrive at the end of the month. I purchased x1 APW 3++ for each miner. I will be running these in a cold (50F) basement over the winter. My plan was to hook them up to a 30AMP circuit formerly used for a clothes dryer. If I cannot safely hook up to a 30AMP breaker, I will have an electrician install a 40AMP breaker for the antminers. My questions are, what PDU will I need to buy if I am using a 40AMP breaker? If I can use the 30AMP circuit, what PDU should I get? I really only need 4 ports in the PDU @ 220V. Also, what cables will I need to buy to go from PSU to the PDU? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!!

If you do a search for PDU you'll find plenty of threads. Title: Re: PDU and cables for s9 antminers? Post by: nexoeon9 on March 13, 2018, 06:38:16 PM It's pointless to put 40A breaker on 30A circuit if it already has a 30A breaker at the box I would rather spend money and put a surge protection and then run put a 32A industrial socket and 32A PDU like this
