I had an electrician install a new power outlet in my basement and he modified a connector to fit into the the power supply. My Antminer S7 is up and running!
I had no idea that every outlet in my house was inadequate to power the device.
Thank you all for the help!
How much did he charge if you don't mind me asking? I know when I looked into 240 an having it done by electrician I got an outrageous quote after they saw miners.
What all work did he do? Add 240 breaker, electricity wire, outlet? And thanks for sharing.
An associate friend of mine who got the miner paid for his service so I don't have a quote on me now, but he was able to hook up a 240 outlet right next to the breaker box within 20 minutes and left me the male end of the plug that would be used to modify a 14g cable. I'll see if I can find a quote for you later on.
Bad news is that I'm not able to use my Amp reader anymore.
That is great then. I had to resort to doing it with someone who knew a tad more then me as I had done 110, but never 240. Phil helped a lot to I owe him for help really got me where I had right things ordered.
But after my electrician saw the miners he gave me a quote of over 1 thousand for a small line (5-10 foot) outside of wall including electrical wire, breaker, and outlet + box. In the end it was probley less then 50-75 dollars or so instead of the 1 thousand quote.... I wont be calling that company again. I also went a lot bigger for a mining area worked out really good for summer and controlling heat.
