Do you actually two 50A breakers each with their own run of 6AWG, or do you mean you have a 240V/50A circuit that has a double breaker with a bar through it so they both trip at the same time?

You can't feed a sub panel with two 50A circuits, that would be against code. You wouldn't want 100A (or even 70-80A) of mining gear on a 120A service anyway though, you would have frequent nuisance tripping unless you live like the Amish in all the other aspects of your life.

If I were you I would just pull a permit to install a ~60A (or 50A if you do have a 240V/50A circuit already), and branch that out to a couple L6-30R receptacles. Pick up a couple 240V PDUs (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Avocent-Cyclades-PM10i-Intelligent-PDU-Rack-Mount-PM-10i-30A-/151383789679?pt=US_Power_Distribution_Units&hash=item233f2d506f)  and you're good to go. Not sure about your utility but a permit for that would only cost me $50, and it's well worth it.

its 110v

when I turned off the circuit for the furnace I had to turn them off one at a time. they didn't seem connected. the furnace also has two breakers inside it. I haven't taken the panel off the furnace to see if there is actually two sets of wires or just one set going to it.

eh I don't really want to pay anyone lol

If you screw up and it burns your house down, your insurance company might not cover you.

Have you ever dealt with home wiring before?  It's really not that hard, but there's a very real risk of personal injury or property damage associated.

This. Its less about doing it right and more about doing it against code/law/policy which you almost certainly will breaking by doing it yourself. Have a look at your insurance policy.

Will only cost you $200 or so to get it done, but $10,000s to do it wrong.

I have worked with home electrical systems before but i'm not an electrician.

but i'm willing to hear what is wrong with putting another breaker box off that 100amp circuit, with 20amp breakers inside and some wiring to a few plugs

tldr, get an electrician in to wire up some 240V sockets from the 50A circuits. PDU from those sockets into useful mining outlets.

eh I don't really want to pay anyone lol

I thought about it and I think this evening i'm going to buy a small breaker box, some 20amp breakers and some wiring and outlets. and wire it up like another small breaker box, I think this is the correct way to do it.

so i have 19 ant s1 running normal 180ghash and one bw... ive got 5 per circuit and two switches and three box fans.

the circuits are all 20amp/2400w

all of the circuits should be running under 2000w, a little buffer before trippage.... my main house plug circuit is 120amps....

i have a 110 electric furnace it is on two 50amp circuits. i use a wood stove for heat, but will use miners for heat this winter...

my question is how to get two heavy gauge wires down to a strip of 110 plugs, im obviously not a electrician... is this what pdus are for?? it there something i can buy at a normal hardware store to step it down into a row of plugs???

i have 5 more s1s i need power for lol...

Nice definitely sell it on eBay and get your money  Cool

Yeah and find out that the POS who buys it runs it for 28 days and then files claim with CS and you get your miner back loose the shipping AND the month of mining. eBay just made it ez'r to scam sellers with their latest "30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE", F@ck ebay.

Anyway GL.

mark auction as no refunds

Bumping the thread.  Shipping the miners in the US would cost about $50 to a residential area so it'a probably not worth shipping.  If you have a business address I could ship to the FedEx and UPS are cheaper.

$60 shipped?

How much is shipping to 97051 in the us?


without tracking with DHL from Germany is 15,79 Euro (about $20)
with tracking with DHL from Germany is 34,99 Euro (about 48$)

I don't make a penny on shipping... I only charge what the stamp will say... if you know a cheaper company, I can use it.

Shipping will be from 10999 Berlin Germany if you want to look for something

40 shipped?
