Should i get APW3-12-1600 or other PSUs?

I do understand that PDUs distributes power. But i suppose that we're good to go, since we installed 1 plug point for each miners. Isn't that so?

Why would we need PDUs, since we can just install one plug point per miner? Is there something im missing out?

It sounds like you are good to go for your current setup! The only reason you would need a PDU is if you want more miners and you dont have enough space in your main electrical panel to wire in another plug. Is that making a little bit more sense?

so  you want to do

30 amp
fuse  in box..................plug in wall..........plug in wall........... plug in wall......... plug in wall...........plug in wall.......plug in wall


correct?  so 3x 2 plug  receptacles  are 38 bucks

6 special power cables are 90 bucks  that is 128 dollars.

you need 3 wallplates and 3 boxes for the walls as I for one would not put all into a 3 gang box.  so 10 -15 more.

so 153 in parts.  no extra fuse protection offered by the pdu.

but i do not know full code for your area.



I am usa based    so   code for above  is this receptacle  wait for link

https://www.amazon.com/Leviton-5822-W-Receptacle-Commercial-Grounding/dp/B000U3I1S0

now see photo  below  12.72 for one  which does 2 plugs

if you do a 30 amp fuse at the box  and buy 3 of these  you could do 5 s-9's   at full speed   or 6 s-9's with a down clock.

Thank you very much for the explaination!

Does that mean that PDUs is much more cost effective as compared to plugging it directly to the wall?

I think you are missing out on the reason for the PDU.  If you had a wall plug for each psu (with proper voltage and amps) you would not need a PDU.  This is more common in say 110-120 volt.   But a PDU allows you to take one big power source (via the outlet) and distribute it to many item's.   For example say you have 240 30 amp running to your miner's most likely you will need a PDU to take it from the outlet to your PSU's.

It's more about being a necessity in some setup's then the cost aspect.  But you could save money running 1 wire to it vs many lower volt/amp wires (but this could very).

I suggest reading post before:

I finally understand it now.. So it is much safe to be using a PDU as compared to running it from the outlet.

1. PDU offers extra protection
2. save cost as you would only require 1 outlet from wall as compared to lots of outlet installed.

More or less, yes that is correct. If you plan correctly and get all the right equipment, you can safely plug multiple miners into one wall receptacle via a PDU. Keep in mind, the most important part of this whole thing is planning properly.

You need to know:
-amperage rating for your current electrical panel
-how many unused spaces in your electrical panel
-how many miners you want to add within the next 12-24 months

Once you have these facts laid out in front its easier to plan and easier to get usable advice.

how much each hash board consume in S7 & S9 ?
S9 1200W for all controller and hash board
so how much I/O controller need from this 1200W
