Looking forward to my (hosted) sp30.
Compensation for less efficiency might be best given (as an option) in the form of cheaper longterm hosting, but let´s wait and see how the final specs will turn out. (Therefore only the lower total hashrate would still need compensation)
In the meantime I wish spondoolies the best of luck in trying to configure the miner and firmware as best as possible.

@ 220V you will need ONLY 1 (one) 15A circuit ...as SP30 is rated @ 2700W / 220V = 12.3A ONLY... ZiG SP30s are a continuous load (they are expected to run for 3 hours or longer at a time at full load), which means that their loads have to be multiplied by 125% before comparing the load to the circuit ampacity. 125% * 2750W / 220V = 15.0 amps. There's a chance you might be able to put that on a 15 amp circuit without tripping any breakers, but you should be planning for the worst, not for the best. Typical circuit breakers will have a moderate to high chance of tripping if they are loaded at a continuous 80% of their rated capacity. http://advanceelectricaltraining.com/advance-electrical-training/continuous-loads-decoded/The 125% (or 80%) rule is all over the place in the National Electric Code. It's also how circuit breakers generally work. You can get away with loading circuits higher than that sometimes, but it's basically the electrician equivalent of overclocking. You shouldn't do it unless you have a back-up plan and don't care much about breaking laws and tripping breakers.

Thanks a lot for clearing this out for me :-) I have just peeked into my fuse box and it says that the circuit breaker for the mains sockets is 32A. How many SP30s do you think I could plug in before the fuse goes off?? lol

You need to know the amperage of the circuit breaker where you connect the SP30 to, or each of the power supplies. Not the main breaker.

Ok so also, I would need to buy separate circuit breakers for each SP30? Would you have any good recommendation from e-bay maybe? I appreciate your help. I'm not very electric savvy

Talk to a local electrician or talk to a friend of a friend who is one. This is not something you buy on eBay and do yourself. If you have a 16A breaker for all the outlets in your sleeping room you can use 12.8A of it (to stay within the 80% of the rating). If you need more than that, you could plugin the second power supply/cable in another room. How much current the SP30 will pull will be clear by next week I guess. At 1200W the Murata PSU is rated 8A @ 200V, there are two. What are the exact dimensions of the unit, please? D 554 X W 431 X H 88.4 mm?
These seem about right, but you need to add a bit of space for the handles of the PSUs and cabling. About 580mm total length, rest seems right. Add lots of space for air flow, do not obstruct front and back. And expect noise.

Look for a 30AMP outlet. You will usually find this in the kitchen around the stove and various enclaves where you plug in toasters and microwaves. This is where you can run an SP30 via heaviest duty extension cord if you don't want it competing with the blender noise or coffee grinder noise:
15-amp Circuit Total Wattage Capacity: 15 amps x 120 volts = 1,800 watts Safe Wattage Capacity: 1,800 watts x 80% = 1,440 watts Safe Amperage Capacity: 15 amps x 80% = 12 amps
20-amp Circuit
Total Wattage Capacity: 20 amps x 120 volts = 2,400 watts Safe Wattage Capacity: 2,400 watts x 80% = 1,920 watts Safe Amperage Capacity: 20 amps x 80% = 16 amps
30-amp Circuit
Total Wattage Capacity: 30 amps x 120 volts = 3,600 watts Safe Wattage Capacity: 3,600 watts x 80% = 2,880 watts Safe Amperage Capacity: 30 amps x 80% = 24 amps

That's all good and nice for America with 120V or so, but in the civilized world we use something else He asked if it would work with "230v 50Hz mains socket".

All residential in US has 240V but split in 2 phases. This is true even for apartment buildings. Most of the stoves and driers run on 240V, so please .. almost everyone in North America has a 240V service.
As for the disclosed hashrate, they disclosed one, together with the conditions to get it. It's not their fault you live where you live or you host it where you find some decent rackspace without asking about the power requirements.
True. And installing another 240v line isn't as expensive as you might think. The bigger concern is really space and cooling ... and security if you get that far.

That's all good and nice for America with 120V or so, but in the civilized world we use something else He asked if it would work with "230v 50Hz mains socket". Thanks for all your replies. Yes that's correct, I have got 230v 50Hz mains socket. In my circuit breaker box, there are few circuit breakers: For all house Lights 6A On Sockets in the kitchen 32A On Socket for the cooker/oven 32A On Sockets for bedrooms 32A On Spare 32A Off Does it mean that for my bedroom sockets Total Wattage Capacity is 32 amps x 250 volts = 8,000 watts (50Hz)? I would need to use bedroom sockets as kitchen sockets are too far away. There is only my PC (between 500-800 Watt) and 2 table lights plugged in to bedroom sockets. Ocasionally I also use these sockets for kettle, hairdryer or vacuum cleaner. If above calculation of 8000 Watt is correct I would have spare at least 6000 Watt, if I use all of the above appliances/devices at once. It says that SP30's nominal power consumption is 2500 Watt So I guess I could have enough amperage to plug in up to 2 SP30s at once?

Ok so also, I would need to buy separate circuit breakers for each SP30? Would you have any good recommendation from e-bay maybe? I appreciate your help. I'm not very electric savvy myself in USA I simply have 1 220v circuit wired with 12avg wire rated at 20 amps with a 20 amp 220v double pole breaker and of course the 220v plug at the wall...to do so into an ISOBAR Euro4 version surge protector 4 volt....here off amazon..I have 3 total 220v plugs/circuits and an isobar euro4 on each one... http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-EURO-4-International-Protector/dp/B00006HZ4M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1406427314&sr=8-3&keywords=euro+4it is cheaper then a PDU and works for my needs... this was easy to do because in my case it is in the bsmt near the panel..so what the heck overkill....1 power supply of the 2 on the sp30 will be plugged into the above 20amp breaker/20 amp socket/indv 220v euro4 isobar for each 20amp line/breaker (again this model eruo4 at 220v because the sp30 comes with cords that work for this) YOU DO need however to purchase the 220v cord from the power outlet to the euro4 isobar..(it has interchangeable cords) the euro4 comes with the same type of cord as the sp30 miners will come with...not the one that goes from the 220v isobar to the plug in the wall..you need to match (see below) below is cords that come with the sp30 and the isobar euro4 above (at least the end that does not plug into the sp30 power supply that can be a different type) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003MG9F78/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1below here is the 3 220v cords from the isobar4 4 surge protector to the plug on the wall... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093WFT5C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1so yeah way over kill but....should work fine 3 circuits using 3 euro4 isobars...1 for each power supply on the sp30 and 1 for the KNC Titan if/when it comes again overkill but what the heck...as to the tripplite isobars ...well they have saved my butt before so better safe then sorry... and again cheaper then a PDU (silly hobby I could have got a bass boat and it probably would have sunk....with my luck anyway..go figure....toys..toys...toys...)

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

I see a lot of posts with varying degrees of correct and incorrect electrical advice
Please realize these miners are built to be hosted in an industrial environment. Before you plug these in consult an electrician and make sure to get permits/inspection for any work done.
I you dont follow my advice and burn your house down (quite probable) your insurance will be void when they find out how the fire started (fact)
These are not home miners like bitmain are, they really need to be in a data centre. A cost you must have calculated on your pre-purchase ROI analysis.

As guy already wrote, things should be clearer within the next 4 days.
He might not be able to give reliable power consumption and speed estimates as the firmware should still be tweaked by Zvisha for optimum performance under the changed circumstances.
Anyway, I am sure we will see some news once the first units ship, and I for one will be reporting on the hashrate and performance (that I can observe from the pool page).
