Re: How to set up asic miner electrically

[jackhandsome5858]

I bought an Antminer E9 Pro. I currently only have 1 dedicated outlet. The outlet is an L6-20r. What do I need to get to hook this baby up? I can't seem to find a pdu that has an L6-20p with built in surge protection.

Where did you search? a simple google search takes me to this link

Metered-Breaker-Surge Protection PDU, 240V, L6-30P, 30A, 7200watts, (4) C13 & (2) C19 Outlets, Crypto Mining PDU, Data Centre PDU, ASIC/RIGS PDU

This PDU is 7.2kw which is more than enough for your  E9 Pros, it has 4*C13s which is enough for the two gears (each miner will need 2 sockets).

That pdu has an L6-30p plug which will not fit an L6-20r unless I'm missing something.

Ya sorry my bad, the one I linked was indeed L6-30p, couldn't find a PDU with both L6-20p and surge protector, how about using a good adapter like this one, it's rated for 20A 250V.

That way you would have more PDU options and won't have to change the outlet.

surge protection pdu's are costly and likely to not be needed.

it will be more important to protect your eth cables

I appreciate your reply. I had come across those but was unsure if that was safe to use not being familiar enough with electric. I guess since I won't be going past the full (or 80%) 20a capacity since I'll only be using that one miner. it should be fine. I will probably go that route. Thank you.

With only 1 E9 pro, you are not going to go above 10 amps, the E9 pro only needs 2200w which translates to 9.2 amps on 240v, which is less than 50% of the rated capacity of that converter, should be pretty safe to run without any issues.
