Title: power cable getting warm antminer s9
Post by: PointHope on February 13, 2018, 07:09:23 AM
I'm just setting up two Antminer s9's and the power cable to the power supply is getting warm.

Is this normal?

Or do I not have sufficient amps on the house  current?

I'm worried so I turned them off.

I've got 220 and using a 2000w capacity power stick. The cable from the house to the power stick is getting a tiny bit warm.

I think I got it figured, the gauge of the wire for the power supply must be too small.
Need to get larger gauge wire. Or rather smaller gauge.

Larger gauge = lower number...  Correct.

Correct.

I think you'll appreciate this; being an electrician:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2865914.msg30133541#msg30133541
