I have 1 circuit 240V 30 AMPs with 4 outlets:

Can I power:

3 Antminer S9's in Low Power Mode unchanged Hashrate (Not Enhanced Low Power). These will take up 3 outlets.
1 Antminer S17 in Normal Mode, plugging in the 2 power cords to a 14 gauge PDU connected to 1 of the remaining outlets?

I know the S9's realistically pull about 7 amps? Not sure about the S17 though.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

For continuous loads, you should not exceed 80% of the circuit rating. If your s9s are pulling 1200W in low power mode, and the S17 is pulling 2385W in normal, that is 5985W, or 5985/240 = 24.9 Amps, which is over 80%. In reality, it will probably end up being higher than that, so not a good idea in my opinion.

Best to consult an electrician.

Have some dead Bitmain 17 series hashboards or full miners?
I'll buy them ... send me a PM with what you have and I'll make you an offer!

You can not do it.

you could most likely do 2 s9's and 1 s17.  Depends on your voltage.

  ie 208 maybe 
220 to 230 most likely
 240 yes  almost certain


1200+1200+2225 = 4625/208 = 22.24 amps which is borderline


4625/240 = 19.27 amps = no issue
