also I'm not sure  what the feeder cable is if it's the one from the telly phone pole to the house id be ware of what the power company is to lazy to do they put under rated cables up there so i found out the hard way one burt out from tress .. not what i was doing in my house i found out then they had the wrong size up for my 200 amps service .  then i had a main box replaced in side the house and the electrician told me in my state they can get a way with using the wrong size cable because it's state code and allowed and they do it to save money and don't care here . but so far with my service all last year i run it at or close to 30 kwh all most  every month with S5's and some older miners never once had a heat issue as long as it was on 240 lines or i didn't max out the 110's  i used .

That's what outs side my house or it looks like at the smart meter but the power company did it all when they put in smart meters as part of the service which they did over time  same pvc pipes etc ..I'm sure i some how paid it back with the power bill.


but that's in Maryland.


in my state the AVG price depends on what you need the electrician I used after getting three prices to replace my main  panel last summer was 1500 with permits to upgrade the service which i didn't do but i asked  he told me he won't do that unless he has a permit . the other two wanted close to 3k and said they didn't need permits which sound fishy to me . i liked the guy i had he seemed to care more about what he did then the cost or money.

yeah i dont understand why they are stressing me over the my usage, yeah the 30amp breakers are warm but new breakers on a sub panel would resolve that cheaply, what KWH did you see on your average bill ?

they dont share the power feeder source with phone, i dont have phone service at my house.

in my state the AVG price depends on what you need the electrician I used after getting three prices to replace my main  panel last summer was 1500 with permits to upgrade the service which i didn't do but i asked  he told me he won't do that unless he has a permit . the other two wanted close to 3k and said they didn't need permits which sound fishy to me . i liked the guy i had he seemed to care more about what he did then the cost or money.

yeah i dont understand why they are stressing me over the my usage, yeah the 30amp breakers are warm but new breakers on a sub panel would resolve that cheaply, what KWH did you see on your average bill ?

they dont share the power feeder source with phone, i dont have phone service at my house.

28 KWH AVG last year sense then thu i have lowered it to around 1800 every month still mine some, but waiting on new miners made me broke, got tried of waiting. so i spent it on junk stuff  so i'll  have to play catch up . i refused to buy S7 still do and the A6 came out to late, and like Sierra8561 said sound like there milking you Sad) .... not sure what you  mean by share feeder source most of everything around me runs off poles wire wise they all claim it cost to much to bury it but all our power lines are above ground what I  meant by telephone pole . the power company owns those poles i believe my fios was buried when they put it in.some of the richer areas around me have it all buried and there power all most never goes out due to bad weather but the power company here has got a lot better at getting it back on once it's out after being sued and find heavy by the state for poor service.

If you're pulling 18000 watts a month chances are you're making enough money to rent a small warehouse for a few hundred a month. You'd also get to pay cheaper commercial electricity rates, usually better cooling, more room to expand, etc!

That would cut into his profits heavily...

I see now i should have said 2.8 kwh not 28 kwh and yes the rules is 80 % of the service but if your close or over id upgrade the service, to be safe, by close id say 34kwh but if your only pulling 20k at best isn't it like 44k you  can actually use on a 200 amp service before shit starts popping breakers and fires start and can use safely is 36k,unless your over loading a breaker and the rule for breakers is 2400 or 2.4 per 240 line with a 30 amp breaker is 80 % and on a 120 it is around 1800 or 1.8  is 80 % 15 amp 20 amp i believe is 2k with 120,all depends what breaker you use 15 20 or 30 amp and wire  ,so shop around or find out just what you need  it is Prolly like you said run lines with the right breakers and not a new meter or this or that but something really simple and cheap, so shop around Smiley

find out the avg cost were you live get three or more prices to make sure.

Ive found out in the past there are some greedily jerks out there that have no problem with taking a 80 years old last dime.
I'm 60 but help a 80 year old that all most had it done That asks me to help .

and the inspector sounds right and the electricians is well or saw $$ signs because of your life style .

yes i agree wtf is it there worry if you/i pay my bill on time why should it mater how much you/i use as long as it's legal they need to back off .

Quite correct not to talk of the time it takes sometimes to update and fix the gpu rigs when the sometimes go down
Having my rigs close and not paying for the space negates any advantage in electricity discounts I've run the numbers
