Here's what I did with my setup. It's a little different situation because I have a 200A main breaker box with plenty of room. Here is the new 60A 220V breaker added to my main box with a 6awg 3 conductor wire leading to my sub panel:  Here is my sub panel. I decided to go with 15A 110V breakers with a single breaker per 1000-1300W power supply. I used 14 awg nema13 power cords and cut them off to wire them directly to the breakers, thus saving money on recepticals, outlets, boxes, condutit, etc. I checked with a couple power guys and everything seems to still meet code.  Here is the box all covered up. The big 'breaker' with the white label is actually a whole home surge protector. I didn't want to waste my money on PDUs or individual surge protectors so this was a good solution for everything on the sub box.  Here's the whole cabinet. Obviously this is a little easier to do in a cage but could pretty easily be mounted on a wall next to your shelf-type setup.   Nice set up! |

everything seems to be working fine, staying relatively cool.
power cables coming from the 220v are all cool to the touch. doesn't seem to be stressing it. PDUs are cool

two 50amp 220v main breakers, with the correct 50amp cables running to basement, two l6-30r plugs with 30amp pdus.
the pdus are about 3/4 their capacity each. shouldnt be stressing the 50amp 220v circuits.
this is basically like im running my furnace 24/7

its been pretty hot here, in the 90s... ive had one ant hit 61c but I blew out the dust from all of them and they all got 3-4c cooler from just that.
highest I have now is 58c on that one ant that always is the hottest for whatever reason.
the PSUs really don't like the heat... ive had two PC psus go bad in the last couple days, i'm replacing them with server psus, they seem to take the abuse better and I get them for less the $20

just as an update, i got out of mining a couple months ago. everything went off without a hitch. i didn't have any problems. or burn my house down or anything like that LOL...
it did keep my house VERY warm from the heat soak coming from the basement.
when the drop took a shit i sold off all miners, my wife was really enjoying the 80 degree house during the winter though haha
