If you have good circuit breakers installed then you won't have any issue with yours rigs. They fill protect you from any power surges.

Off topic: Since you mentioned you are living in a tropical country, you need to also worry about cooling your rigs too. What setup were you thinking to use for it?
Incorrect.  A circuit breaker only protects from over current.  It is an overcurrent device. Not an overvoltage device.

Indeed, you just need a surge protector and you'll be good to go

An blackout can kill a mining rig, I do not think there is any influence, because even though the power goes out mining is still in the wallet even though we have to repeat the mining from the start

Have had blackouts happing to my rig twice.
The first one screwed up my rig so it didn't boot to OS. Easily fixed by clearing CMOS with the jumper on MOBO.

The second time had to just pull out all the cables that go to the electrical outlet. Plugged them back in and everything worked again. Don't know why it didn't boot before, maybe had to drain some capacitors before boot was possible, don't know.

Blackout won't kill your rig, just gives you some unnecessary hassle Smiley

I have blackouts literally 2-3 times a day minimum haha. Been mining for months and its still going strong. Just have to enable power on after AC so it automatically starts your miner again.
