I currently have 3 S9s and i plan on getting up to 12 total.  I have an electrician coming on monday and this is the setup i THINK i am going with.  Let me know if you see any issues.

He will run a 100A sub panel to the mining cave.  This will have 4 30A 240V breakers.  Each breaker will have 2 duplex outlets connected to it.  I plan on getting these:

So at 240v (i think here in the USA it would be 240V) each antminer will be 5.833A, so I can have 4 per 30A breaker and stay under 80% load, but will only use 3 per breaker since I max out at 12.  I will use these cords:

So 80% of the 100A sub panel will allow 13 S9s, however with the exhaust fan, network equpment I would put a max of 12 in there.

Does this sound like it will work?

is a 30A circuit breaker and 20A receptacles even allowed?  I may need to rethink this.

You need to skip the duplex outlets. Instead run 10/2 wire off of each 30a breaker into one of these https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-30-Amp-250-Volt-Flush-Mounting-Grounding-Locking-Outlet-Black-2620/301305006

Search for some used PDU's on eBay or similar.

Example here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007YG85A/ref=asc_df_B0007YG85A5306344/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B0007YG85A&linkCode=df0&hvadid=216538221087&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3856605026106036899&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003877&hvtargid=pla-350062801410

but they are +/- $40 used

You should run max 3 S9's on each so you will need 4, 1 for each outlet.

You will need 1 cord for each miner to the pdu
