I am new to mining and just recently purchased 2 antminer s7's and want to get them up and running. I am using 1 off brand PSU for each miner and they are rated at 220V. Because I live in an apartment I can't have an electrician set up a 240 circuit for my miners. Although I do have a 10-30R 30 amp 125/250V dryer outlet on its own circuit that I would be able to use (30 amp and 250V should support 2 s7 miners). I have been looking into ways to convert the 10-30R outlet using adapters so that I can plug in my PSU's for the miners. If anyone has any good suggestions on how to do this please comment.

My current option that I am considering is the following:

From the 10-30R wall outlet plug in a L6-30 converter, shown in the link below:

https://www.bsaelectronics.com/products/adapter-3-30amp-10-30-plug-to-l6-30-socket-adapter-5ft

From the now L6-30 female end of that adapter I would plug in a  L6-30 Plug to 2 Way IEC 60320 C13 Connector, shown in the link below:

https://www.stayonline.com/detail.aspx?id=31859&gclid=Cj0KCQiA38jRBRCQARIsACEqIes04F6GVk0QNRTIGBA9XqlV46fxOPUGgrxAKqy3JAfA_EhgbMYW6JIaAnxBEALw_wcB

From there I would plug 1 of the C13 ends into each PSU.

My question is will this work? I know that the initial adapter is rated for 30 amps and 250V  but the L6-30 to C13 is rated for 15 amp 250V. So is that 15 amp per C13 plug or is the whole adapter rated at 15 amp? And again will this work?

-Thanks

You do realize how loud these units are I hope. If you have neighbors sharing any walls above, below, or next to you are gonna piss them off with the noise.

The s7's going to pull under 6.3 amps each at 220v. That pushes the L6-30 to C13 adapter close to its limits but I personally think it is fine. . 15amp @250v = 3750 watts. The two combined S7s should only pull around 2700w so I would say the cable is ok. The one you linked is 14awg, I would not try and cheap out and use a thinner plug/adapter but I think you would be safe with that one.

Please remember this is just an opinion, if you are unsure do not just take my word for it.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.
