🔌Tripping Breaker✨

[Swag242]

Has anyone hooked out enough mining rigs to trip their home electrical breaker yet?

I would be curious to hear your story.

Pretty sure everybody has at one point. I even have a power meter and I try and stay under ~1400 Watts or so per breaker however there are times when I accidently plugged too many rigs in the same breaker and ended up tripping it. Its no big deal. Just switch it back on. That is why its there for.

Funny story,

One guy years ago wanted to use as many outlets in his home to run his rigs. He was running out of places to plug in his rigs. So he started to plug it into outlets which were dedicated to microwaves, dishwashers and refrigerators.

He measured the power usage of the fridge and it was only like 50-100 watts or so when it was running. So he decided to plug in like 1400 watts of rigs to that outlet. It ran fine for a day. Until one day his wife calls him all pissed off because the fridge breaker tripped and all the food was garbage. He was puzzled why it happened. However little did he know that once or twice a day a fridge has a defrost cycle for the ice in the freezer, and this uses like 500-1000 watts or so. And it only runs for like 10 mins every 24 hour period.

I don't know which country you from or how your home wiring was set up but make sure you connect mining rigs to different outlets in your home, don't run all miners from a single outlet it's bad

For mining rigs, it is better to divide a separate switch or switches and make separate wiring from the electrical switchboard.
It's funny when the food in the refrigerator goes bad, and in old wooden houses, overloading electrical wires can end in a fire.
 It's not funny anymore.

Depending how old your place is, if its 50 years old or so you should just replace the breakers with new breakers to make sure they trip. If you don't want to do this then at least try and trip them on purpose and make sure they trip.

If your breaker is very old or if you got those old style fuse breakers you really need to test them prior. Some breakers if they are old enough or counterfeit they won't trip under overcurrent and this might lead to a fire.  You won't hurt anything by overloading it on purpose and seeing if it trips.
