Question regarding the APW3++ ....  What power cord should I be sourcing?    I am looking at using these PDUs... http://icecat.us/us/p/ibm/73p5847/power-distribution-units-pdus-PDU+DPI+60amp+3-phase+High+Density+C9-73276.html

Will this be supported?   It is looking like a C9 power connector.


Thanks.

IEC320 C20 to IEC320 C13 power cord.

Here is an example https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZSNKGF/ref=dp_sp_detail?psc=1

Thanks.


Would something like this PDU allow me to run multiple APW3++ of of it using just one 220 outlet in the room? Assuming it is dedicated off of an approprate AMP breaker?

As long as you will not exceed 80% of its rated capacity/wattage to be safe

Surprised you didn't talk about the increase in available output running off 220v. That was a huge concern of mine when ordering my D3 was the incredibly high power draw requirements Bitmain stated (1200W). according to them, the APW3++ will deliver 1200W on 110v or 1600W on 220v. Knowing that it's NEVER a good idea to run a switching powersupply at or near full load, I opted to run all my PSUs off 220v for the additional overhead afforded to the PSU so it wouldn't run at or near full load thus increaseing longevity and reducing wear and tear on the units. This also allowed me to increase miner density per circuit as current draw is reduced by half due to the voltage increase. I've seen one video (I think it was Cryptocrane?) where they noted the ACTUAL miner draw was in the 900W range. I would LOVE to see verification of that by another channel. Considering you're the only other one making videos regularly of decent quality who has a D3, you're primed for that kind of testing.
