Maybe this is an stupid idea but Salicru plugs saved my farm more than once! And they are not expensive at all!

Thanks a lot! I agree, there are many things that can be done to improve everything, but sometimes the desire to cut the costs wins ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It will be cheaper if you do it by yourself, it’s really easy and if you have some electrical questions, just ask.

It will be cheaper if you do it by yourself, it’s really easy and if you have some electrical questions, just ask. Bullshit. You are not talking about adding a few low power outlets to a room or opening up and working on a moderately low power (compared to commercial/industrial capacity) household breaker panel. The knowledge required to properly and above all - SAFELY - do the wiring for 10's to several 100's of kW of power is vastly different. Even more to the point usually mining farms are a business that should carry insurance - that is not going to happen if it has not been wired by licensed professionals.

You are not good as electrician, safety it’s first place for electrician all time and no big difference of 10kW and 100kW, license is not for 10kW or 100kW of power. You can receive license for system up to 1kV(most popular) or for up to 10kV+, but it’s not a kW!

I have been designing and building industrial power systems since the mid 1970's. I've done power for industrial lasers that pull over 1MW from what amounts to their own mini-substation. Yes licenses are geared to working voltage but the point that really matters here is what the source can supply to a short-circuit. Just look up 'arc flash hazard' to see the huge difference between DIY wiring in a house where the SCCR *may* be as high as 10kA vs what can can happen when the building service can supply that amount as a normal load. A good example of PPE that is required when working on the high energy areas of building power can be found here. For the vidiots out there here is some very graphic video of what arc flash can do. Point is wiring power for a large farm is NOT something that is DIY unless you know damn well what you are doing and have experience dealing with that kind of power.

Unfortunately many think that the electrical installation is something simple: just run some cables and connect the socket and you're done. Then they say that they use a lot of energy, or that the system is always going down, or worse, they have problems like those reported in this topic. A system that consumes a lot of energy must be correctly configured and installed. From the connection to the network, as the electrical panel and all types of cables and connections that are made. Electricity is not a toy nor is it plug & play. It requires doing things correctly, to minimize problems and have good efficiency.

Seriously,its so badly,what arrangements,layout,and designs,to avoid fire.One thing,is check the place,give distance every circuits ,and use a silicon can protect from drops of water.Use extinction wire not overload,so that not causes FIRE, probably you can use a waterproof protect.Sometimes,unplug to avoid overheat and fire.

I hope you can fix it again, sir. In order to make a profit again. Looks like it needs an injection of funds. Best wishes to you, sir.

That's wild! How were you notified of it? Did you see smoke or did you have alarms set?
I don't have a farm, but I have a few and one suddenly shorted on me. Luckily, I smelled the burning odor before any sparks or flames started.

If the system is well configured this shouldn't happen. The system should simply shut down as soon as the temperature reaches values favorable to fire. Remember, a well-done electrical installation can cost some money, but it will save you a lot of trouble in the future, much more expensive.

Remember, a well-done electrical installation can cost some money, but it will save you a lot of trouble in the future, much more expensive. Yeah, I've been wondering what I should add. Right now I just have it hooked straight into the wall on a circuit by itself. What else can I add for if a short happens, it shuts off before fire starts. I'm worried that before, had I not intervened, it would have kept supplying power until the plastic caught. I have the mining on a metal shelf away from any fuel, so nothing else will catch, but I'm still worried.

Haha, if you can't read a message, why are you writing? Just look how it's done and what's kind of plug extender is used. He can just change plug extenders for a few good one and save a lot of money for future(Even just based on cable cross-sections). You don't need any license to buy plug extender, if you don't know which type you need, you can ask seller in shop and check by searchs or ask electrician. You can do it by yourself just with parameters for your equipment. All work can be done by qualified electrician(INPUT CIRCUIT BREAKERS, JUNCTION BOX, CABLE ROUTING) and it should be done in buildings by qualified electrician, but according to you, the connection of new servers in the data center is done by an electrician, and not by administrative personnel.

The damage is really extensive and heartbreaking. I'd suggest you pay close attention to the electrical wiring next time. Most fires like this usually comes from Electrical Resistance within the wires, resulting to excessive heat and fire outbreaks. From the look, this seems to be the direct result of inefficient wires. Did you use some old wire and extensions cords? Sometimes, "Do it Yourself" is not recommended in rig wiring.
Sorry for your loss and hopefully you bounce back soon, replace the damaged hardware and continue your project. And the leaking roof is another thing you need to pay attention to.

Hmm that's sad, but I believe all things happen for our good or so we could learn... Maybe your farm needed a upgrade and you didn't notice but is all right, hope you have recovered your lost

The damages is much, and i hope to fix the damages that happen there will reach billions, i never see the image of mining farm before, can individual have a personal mining farm because the way I'm looking the electric devices from background it worth money

Well now there is no going back the best you can do is to make sure it never happens again, didn't you have smoke detectors installed? It is very painful to see that, i can only imagine what you have have gone through.
