People.... THINK about what you are getting into....
If you are asking this sort of question you really need to perhaps pursue other interests...
You are asking how many miners can I power? Fine. Start with:
How many watts of power does each miner need?
A safe answer typically is around 1,400 watts
You say you have 600v 400amp service. Great.
Problem is you have no idea what a 'Watt' is so connecting the dots is
A simple Google search will tell you: Watts = Volts x Amps
In your case you can supply 240,000 watts or 240kw minus your 20% reserved.
You do the math for how many miners that works out to.
And of course miner PSU's require between 208-240VAC. Need heap-big step-down transformer to go from 600v down to around 220V.
Having fun yet?

No need for snark. I get that watts = volts x amps, my question is more about how to go down from 600v - maybe there are some particularly efficient ways of doing so, especially since I've got to keep 20% for other purposes. It could be that maybe I should try to keep that entirely separate, in case of fluctuations. It could be that it would affect the optimal choice of miner, even, if some fluctuate more than others. Makes sense to ask this group, because presumably some people here know that stuff.
