Hello guys and gals,
I am looking into the feasibility of a mining rig and need to understand what I'd be looking at for capital costs. The primary question I have is how could I best use my power source of 480V, 3-phase AC, 60 Hz to run Antminer S9 or S7's? The total wattage for the rig will be somewhere between 50 - 105 kW. Obviously I need to transform the power to run the PSU's, but what would be the most cost efficient way of doing this?
Also do I have to buy one Bitmain APW5 power supply for every single S9 or S7 unit? Is there a more cost efficient way to power the miners, like a larger power supply that can hook up to dozens of miners?
Thanks
PS - I am a mechanical engineer and have no experience in designing power systems :s
