How do people have 20 mining rigs setup in 1 room without blowing a fuse?

I've seen people have like 20 or more mining rigs set up in one room? how is that possible. Each outlet can handle only 15-20 amps. You can't even put 2 mining rigs into 1 outlet or its going to blow a fuse.

Don't put them all on the same circuit?

a 20 amp outlet can handle two rigs, just not the biggest rigs. But power is only half the battle, cooling is the other half and that gets pretty tough even on the commercial level.

My rigs never go hungry with these outlets. I run 4 rigs per outlet.
Simulation of how much power my rigs eat (and fart out as heat)
Hint #1: There is no such thing as "the outlet".
Hint #2: Most homes have NEMA 5-15 outlets.
Hint #3: NEMA 5-15 is a max of 1800W (1440 for continual loads) but there are other kinds of outlets and you can install more than 1.

Just finished wiring my basement for 8 more 220v outlets on a 6ga wire to a 40a breaker. My fingers are raw... fuck you 6ga wire and your stiffness!
Actually, I think it was the feeder 12ga wires that did the most damage to my precious little digits.
If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it. There was never anything there in the first place.

Yup I hate working with 12ga; it's amazing how much easier 14ga is to work with. Unfortunately I ran out of 14ga years ago but have plenty of 12ga left and I'm too cheap a sumbitch to buy more.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

The quick and dirty way to run a bunch of rigs in one room is to run extension cords through a closet or up/down stairs from outlets connected to other circuits. This was the only way I could run five rigs in my house without exceeding the angry wife threshold. Of course, if you own your house, you can put in larger circuits and stuff. I wish I had that option.

This is how solo miner 88.6.216.9 does it.

110v is for kids. My desklamp, phonecharger, alarmclock runs on 240v. Bladesaw, boiler and weldingmachine on 3-phase 380v.

Hi, I upgraded my mining appliance and using 100gw of atmospheric energy now.
How do people deal with winds created by the thermal chimney effect, can you build structures strong enough???

How much did it cost to have a 380v installed?

That's just dependent on where you live, plus 240V would be equal to 415V 3-phase (times the square root of 3).
It doesn't make any tremendous difference though, anybody needing huge amounts of power would need their own transformers anyway.
The thing is you can run 3*3600W ~ 10KW off a standard household wiring (for 110V it should be half with the same wiring) , for anything more you need thicker wiring and stronger fuses. And the electrical supplier would gladly supply you with another circuit if you use that much.
People actually doing this you can probably count with a few fingers.

The heater, dryer, stove, AC has large 208V going into them. One could build a circuit to supply power to either the appliance or your rigs; just make sure they aren't drawing current all at once.
