If you're not sure hire an electrician to help and to add more dedicated fuses.

Is this something that can typically be done in a rented apartment in a building (assuming landlord's consent)?

Hi,

I've never mined before but need some help. How much electrical power do I need to mine 5 x Antminer D3's and 1 x Antminer L3+?

I've been told I may need multiple circuits, but how many to be 100% sure the Antminer's are safe? And how much roughly does each circuit cost? Is there any reason why it wouldn't be possible to add more circuits in a property?

Cheers

You should be fine with just 6 units. What you do is split them up 2 per fuse on your breaker. Make sure to not have anything else running on that fuse. And dont run more than 2. That's assuming you have 20 AMP fuse breakers. If you have 15 amp fuses then you can only run one rig per.

It helps a lot if you live somewhere that uses 220volts. You can safely run 2 or even 3 per fuse. If you're in the US it's 2 max for 20 amp fuses. and 1 for 15 amp.

If you're not sure hire an electrician to help and to add more dedicated fuses.
