What you are looking for is a PDU.

Cyberpower makes a number of them that are switched and have per outlet power metering. They are enterprise and you will pay for it.

The one I listed works with 120v and 240v.

If that unit where smaller and had surge protection it would be perfect. That said surge protection could be a separate device. Problem is I need three of whatever model I decide on. Each rig is in the neighborhood of 1800 watts so I can't plug multiple rigs into one unit.

I listed that one because it does 20A. I believe it does does have over current protection where it switches off the port/outlet when you go over the desired amp rate you set in the web gui.

They make a larger version for both 120v and 240v. Both of these have breakers for each bank of ports. The one's that only meter the entire PDU are significantly cheaper if thats all you are looking for. Per Port amp metering is what makes these expensive.

240v 30A

120v 30A

And there are even larger 3 phase PDU's.

Companies that make decent PDU's for enterprise.

Eaton
APC
Tripplite
Cyberpower

are you looking for a surge protector or a switchable PDU with remote monitoring with energy consuption monitor ??

Ideally all three but maybe thats not a thing, so at min a good surge protector rated for 20 amps that only has one or two outlets. Second priority is remote switching and third is consumption monitor

For a very simple surge protector i would suggest this one , its a Tripp Lite Isobar 2 , i used this when i had to mine with my S9 from 110/120volts

I was talking to an electrician about whole house surge protection and he basically didn't under the purpose. Does it shut down everything at the breaker box when a surge comes in, preventing the surge from entering the house? In that case, it would have to be reset manaully? Basically what this guy was saying is that if your home is properly grounded at the meter outside, he didn't understand the need for this.

I'm not sure where you live, but that electrician is an idiot. Yes it pops the circut and the eats the surge before anything in your house gets hit. I suggest you get another electrician that knows what he is talking about because while that one is not wrong about proper grounding, it does not do shit against surges.

Is there such a product that has the following requirements or most of them?

20 amp plug
120 volt input
Remote power switching capable
energy consumption monitor

Most of the products that do energy monitoring are low end consumer products that not mean for 24/7 high loads, i tried the tplink switch thats rated for 15a and its is warm to the touch while im pulling 970 watts. All of the 20 amp surge protectors that Im seeing are the typical rack mount pdus which seem a little excessive to plug in two power supplies. The energy consumption is nice to have but not that important as I dont really need to monitor it 24/7 and if I do than I could use one of the inductive aeon labs meters.

Yep what phil said

https://www.amazon.com/CHSPT2ULTRA-Ultimate-Protection-Length-Height/dp/B01AQAKRSS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514769603&sr=8-1&keywords=eaton+whole

you will need breaker and someone that knows what he is doing so you don't kill yourself.

I have these in both houses, even if you don't mine its a good thing to have.

Yes that Eaton also is good.

Use a whole house unit.

Runs about 200.

Attaches to your main circuit breaker.

Search amazon “whole house surge protector”

Siemans fs140 is one style

Should be helpful
