hi guys new miner here,
i've been lucky enough that i've scrimped together approximated $20,000 which im planning to put into purchasing miners.
I've found an industrial unit where they've included power usage into the rental price per month and i've explicitly stated i will be running at least 10 machines which are 12v 3400w consumption to which the landlord said he would be happy with that usage being priced into the unit rent.
what im really looking for now is some advice on what i will need to get the best results from mining. Im struggling to understand how im going to distribute the power safely (the unit has 3-phase power) but im scared incase i plug too many machines in and cause an overload or a fire.
The other thing was I've seen people using power distribution units to plug multiple miners into.
If any one is running a s17 set up could they give me their experience on the best way to power the units and if there are any tricks or tips to help optimise them?
thanks

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Contact an electrician ask them to review the power setup / wiring. Just because the landlord says it can be done doesn't mean anything.

For distribution of power for the miners I'd also ask the electrician, it really depends on the buildings wiring and the distribution of outlets to breakers. For instance if you have a 15A breaker and it's wired for 120v you're not going to have a fun time.

this is the outlet thats in the unit. i was expecting that maybe i would need to wire my own breakers in the unit and run power from those breakers?
i believe its a standard british 3phase power outlet with 230v am i wrong?

edit the breaker has 100A on it some im guessing its a 230v 3phase with 100amp.

Sounds like all you need is a 3 phase pdu for 230v. Make sure you don't exceed 80%, in this case 80a total consumption.

I have never seen a British 3 phase outlet, but i imagine they sell pdus for those over there.
