Asin A1 23TH

Has anyone had any experience with the Asin A1 here?
I have two of them and when running 24/7 for 7 days+, they both develop psu faults that cause the breakers in the house to trip.
i dont really want to invest in another psu if this is what these miners are like...

Thanks

How many amps is the breaker?
2 separate breakers or are they both on the same circuit?

Keep in mind breakers are rated for 80% (give or take) constant load so a 20A breaker should not run 24/7 more then 16A IIRC these are 10A miners so if they are both on 1 circuit you are overloading it. Add in anything else you are going to be well over the limits.

dave he could run 1 and see if it trips breaker.

at op if you are just over the proper amps it can run for days even weeks before it trips.

try running 1 see if it trips.

it looks like there are two separate main breakers that cover plugs etc. they both have 80a 30mA on them.
i have been running them singly. however i had just added an s9k. so i was running an s9k with asin a1 together.
i think the first one to go had a bad psu in the first place. the other i had been running for just over 2 weeks strait before it tripped the circuit breaker.
i have noticed that this particular miner has 2200v output.
another observation, i noticed the washing machine is on the same breaker as the sockets for the miner, and was running when the circuit was tripped so the machine may have taken it over its limit

are you in the USA or elsewhere? Generally the only breakers that are above 15A in the USA are for appliances (microwave / fridge / range / etc... and those would be anywhere between 20A-100A). You can download an Ohm's Law app (or just do the math - Voltage x Current = Wattage) and make sure you're leaving yourself some headroom.

In the event that you DO seem like the headroom *should* be there, but you've got breakers tripping, it's not a bad idea to kill the power to the circuit in question and just make sure all of the wiring is SNUG. Anything that may havee come loose (on the receptacle screw-down terminals for example...) can add resistance to the circuit, thus increasing the power draw slightly.

Do you mean 220v inputs? Or 2200w outputs?
Can you make this thing clear?

What's your current outlet voltage?

For safety purposes, I suggest hire an electrician and ask them to make a separate power for your miners only with a proper circuit breaker because we do not know if the cause of your issue is due to other appliances connected to the same outlet or due to an unstable power source or PSU but I don't think it's a PSU issue. You should have separate breakers for your units to know if the issue comes from your units or the whole house circuit.

sorry, i meant the miners power consumption is 2200w.
i had been using a surge protector with the miner. i had read somewhere not to use these with miners. no idea if this is true or not, however i have been running an antminer s9k off the socket (no surge protector for the past 3 weeks)

yeah here we go.

seems like you are using 120 volts.

so a 15 amp 120 volts provides 1800 watts . it can often do 1850 watts for days and it then trips over and over again.

a 15 amp 120 volt circuit needs to derate to 1800 x .80 = 1440 watts for endless running

thats why your s9 works as it pulls about 1200-1400

a 20 amp 120 volt provides 2400 even 2500 watts short term

but to run safely day after day after day you need to derate so 2500 x .80 = 2000watts

So at 2200 watts you gray zone you are under 2400/2500 max and over 2000 legal correct safe number.

basically your gear is fine and your wall/power is not.

you should get a 220 volt 30 amp circuit put in

that will do 30 x 220 = 6600 x .8= 5280 watts

that is two 2200 watt miners.

thanks for the update philipma1957. just something to add. the breaker for the sockets that can take up to 32amps. i assume this would still not be enough?

you never answered if you are 110/120 volt power or 220/240 volt power.

frankly it is very hard to answer with your voltage info not known.

i am in the uk, so it'll be 240v

32 x 240 = 7680 watts x 80 % = 6144 safety

2200+2200+1300= 5700 watts

so just this and nothing else on the circuit could work.
