...it will run even at below 200v, but then your miners will RIP if that happens too often.
Is there a place where this is elaborated on? How many cycles of <200V would cause the miner to RIP?
I'm asking because I'm interested in how many cycles a standard S19 PSU could be at 0V before RIP.
If the main issue is just a line that normally holds around 208VAC (preferably higher) and occasionally may drop below 200v you may be ok, just expect the miners to hopefully shutdown and then restart once the powerline is back into a usable range. If dropping to a low line voltage is a fairly common thing you need to address that.
A question on Voltage Ride Through (VRT) on transmission connected bitcoin mines then - would a nearby contingency that drops voltage to 0.0 pu for a few cycles before protection equipment isolates the fault cause a secondary fault on nearby bitcoin mines, AKA cause a cascade?
Sounds like the stock PSU specs don't elaborate on transient characteristics, and not sure if anyone is going to know these things off hand, ha! A cap bank or co-located storage would surely provide some VRT support here, but a heuristic for how PSUs handle transient voltage levels would be a nice starting point.
From what I've gathered here, PSUs wouldn't ride through any sort of transient voltage levels below their spec stated range, and would require additional equipment to handle the transient cycle-level dips of great magnitude.
First time posting here, thanks!
