It's not actually cheap the price of this times 4 of Antminer S9 SE 16th/s so you can get more hashrate on SE miner (64Th/s in total) compared to love core a1 with 24th/s only.
Honestly, this kind of miner doesn't have its own support it is imitated version of Cheetah a1 miner and Aisen A1 25T.

What I bought x 3: https://coinminingcentral.com/products/love-core-a1-24th
Making profit is not important at the moment. I decided on these because they are cheap and I can learn about asic mining from them.
Thanks for your reply ref power. I know its only advice and not certain.

so the machines do 20th each and use 2200 watts each correct?
I will pretend you have free power since they suck at power savings.
It would really help to know what you purchased
Do they have a built in power supply?
etc.
you will be needing a 50 amp sub panel with 3 20 amp breakers. or a 50 amp sub panel with 2 30 amp breakers.
you managed the get a very bad power usage at 2200 watts.
and 3 pieces .
I could go into details but 6600/.8 = 8250 watts is the minimum rated you should plan to do
that would be 3x 20 amp or 2x 30amp if I were you I would feed a 4 gauge cable from the house breaker to a 4 breaker box
with 3x 20 amp circuits leave a circuit open.
the main panel would have to have space for a 60amp breaker that feeds to the sub panel in the shed.
I have no formal training so don't trust me.
Please find a good electrician that knows your codes show him what I wrote and ask him if it will work.
good luck as I take zero responsilbity if you don't do it correctly.

If you are a newbie and you want to learn about mining much better read the sticky thread on this section. Which I think will help you to start your journey on mining.
Here look at these threads below just added some useful threads to learn.

Thanks for answer.
I am doing this to learn about mining in general. I am not familiar with the general abbreviations for mining.
I am just looking to know how to run these 3 machines safely in a domestic house "shed" out the back. I am wondering what way I would set up the power to the shed without being dangerous.
Thanks

I haven't heard of domestic units going as high as 12kw. If you have access to them and an appropriate fuse/cbbr and it doesn't become too hot...
Not sure why people have left this for so long to reply although I'm also not sure if there are retail psus capable of handling 6600W.... And unless a splitter is licensed for the full 12000 if suggest caution before trying to use it.

Hi Guys
Here we go. I am jumping in with 2 feet here, I have only ever made 1 crypto transaction in my life though coinbase that turned into 2 transactions.
Anyhow I hope that will give you an Idea of my Knowledge on crypto which is zero.
Mining
I don't know what came over me but decided to buy 3 mining machines. Its done and they are on their way.
I do know about power costs and profitability so know I am up against it. I am also aware of the halving coming UP
There will be a total of about 60 odd Th/s If the machines decide to work. It has cost me roughly $700 so far.
I need to know about wiring and how you would set up these machines on a circuit. So looking to know what way you would go about a standard 12kw 240 volt domestic connection. Each machine is about 2200 watts. I am looking to know would you give each machine its own dedicated Socket and breaker ? Or would it suffice on one loop of 3 sockets on say a 40 amp breaker ?
I know you are probably scratching your heads thinking why now on cheap gear but I would like to learn.
Also Pools and address I have no idea where to start.
Any help would be great
Thanks
