buy another delta 2400 watt   it gives you room for expansion and they are good.  better safe then sorry.

also the fans will run slower on both psu's  saving some power.

The connectors are shared internally, it is not 1200 + 1200 as it sounds like you are wondering. Also remember the rule for power supplies, you want them at about 80% of their rated capacity. Also you might want to use slightly higher numbers when estimating power draw. Remember what a miner pulls from the PSU is not what the PSU itself is pulling at the wall. Even the bitmain sites say add 10% to the power draw when calculating it.

With that in mind I would estimate an s9 at around 1500w, and an l3 at 900w.

This is really pushing the limits of that power supply at that point since you will be at almost 100% load. I would not recommend trying to run the L3 and S9 off of this single PSU.

Hi, pretty new to mining and I have been trying to setup a few ascii mining rigs. I have a t9, s9, l3+ and d3.  My understanding is that the delta DPS-2400AB B is a redundant power supply. I do not know much about power supplies, but I assume that is why it has 2 sides, with separate plugs? As the power supply makes 2400w, I assume I can plug a s9 with a l3 into the same supply.

1400w + 800w  = 2200w

The issue is the breakout boards I recieved are 8 plugs each, and I require 19. I can buy a 16 plug board and replace one of the boards which would fix this issue, but I am jsut wondering if anyone know if this power supply is independantly fused on each side? IF is separate out the hash boards to the different side that best split I can get is:

2 s9 boards + 1 l3= 1133w on ones side
1 s9 hashboard + 3 l3 hashboards + both controllers = 1066w

This would keep each side below 1200w, but I am not sure that is important or not. I would prefer to put each miner on a separate board, that why I could power down one, if there was a problem with the boards the whole miner would power down.

Anyone have any experience with this?
