Do you guys recommend using a PDU to power your miners (specifically Antminer s9, l3+, d3) or do you just connect them to the wall?

Kinda depends. I've never used a PDU, but I also either did or redid basically all the wiring I've ever plugged miners into so a PDU would have been both redundant and an unnecessary expense.

A lot of people will recommend a PDU if you require an electrician to pull you a fresh 240V circuit, because he can just terminate it with the right outlet for your PDU and be done with it.

I tell people hire an electrician and buy a used pdu on eBay.

I own a home in New Jersey   state law is a home owner can do an install in his home if he is living in it and not renting it.

I installed 2x 30 amp 240 volt circuits in my home  and got some quality used pdus on eBay .

I can do 24 x 240 x 2 = 11.5kwatts safely in my house  about  8-10 s-9's   depends on how much I clock to.

Well well what a strange question coming from a..

Quote "Bitmaster INC PROFESSIONAL BITCOIN MINER "

Seems this scammer just can't get his act together...can't resell or find investors who will accept hash power as collateral for his big PRO mining BIZ scam and is not even sure about how to power & set up the  3 S9's on his youtube video.. oh and where are the other 197 S9's you brag about?

Thanks to VOD for smoking him out..
