Antminer S9 and APW CSA and UL certification

[kayowas]

Hello all,

Does anybody know if S9s and APW PSUs are CSA or UL approved? I asked Bitmain and they didn't apply for it, but maybe someone else got them certified?

Thanks!

"someone else"
Only the manufacturer can apply to have their equipment certified/recognized by the various product safety organizations.

That's very bad news... Anyone here in Canada that had run into this problem with city/utility inspectors asking for CSA certificates?

If you click the "see more" link on the left menu on that link you provided you can view all of their products certificates, it looks like all the models of PSU are there.

No not at all. I'm wondering how you wound up in that scenario. Even when getting an electrical permit the install is the only thing my province is concerned with. Now if you are setting up a facility using MW as opposed to KW there may be more questions.

Best bit of advice I can give you is just let them know what you need supply wise, don't over divulge what you are running. Hope you got the permit.
