Hi, I guess you are right about the fact that if my miner crashes I don't have any or 1-2-3.. ect less but still some running. I guess I will be going with the sp20's "farms". You dont really loose a big amount of hash compared to the yukon's hash. But I still need to get some electrical stuff checked out by my electrician when we will be available at the same time. I have ordinary outlets at home ...not industrial or commercial types. I want to do everything a nice and tidy way, not all messy and disorganised. Thanks for your responses.
Sure 
but what I calculated... I have to buy psu's for the sp20's and to have the same power than a sp35 , it would cost me pretty much more than buying sp35's and I would need approximately 3 sp20's to equal one sp35. So more outlets and space..:/ anyways I guess it won't cost a fortune to modify stuff... And I guess to be on the safe side it would be only one machine per outlet. I will get in touch with my electrician soon and give some feedback here if anyone needs help on approximate prices for parts etc...

1x sp35 = 2235

3 evga 1300 g2 's = 510

so 1195 + 510 = 1705
vs 2235
3 sp20's run easy 3600 gh
they can clock to 4500gh
they sell easier on ebay.

If the SP35 goes down your 100% down, if 1 SP20 of your 3 goes down, your only down 33%. Most here have been thru a lot of upgrading of equipment and we just sell off the older stuff but keep the PSU's to use on the newer stuff. So I like buying good quality PSU's and am still using the same one I had used on my BFL 60GH Single, then on my S1 and then S3 and now use it on my S5 miner.

Thanks for all your replies. For sure I will hire an electrician to check things out. Luckily I know one personally. I was planning on getting SP35 YUKON miners.But for now the amount is unknown since I would get the electricity business done first. Thanks!
SP-20's are easier if you have 110. If you have 220's then the SP35 is very nice.

If your not comfortable hire an electrician.
Also the biggest advice I can give you, run your outlets at 240V this decreases then thickness of wire needed, the amount of amps and the heat generated given a set amount of watts.
Example: 20A @ 240V = 4800W if you run 120V you would need 40A for the same wattage and much more expensive installation.
Good luck.

If you have hesitation's get a electrician. Make sure you have enough cooling (exhaust the heat out). How many miners and which miners are you planning on?

Surely, I don't want to live stressed out because a fire could start! Thanks for your reply!!
wondering if it would be wiser to make an electrician come over to change stuff such as wires, outlets even the breaker maybe? To support a good 3650 Watts at least per outlet.
3640W is about 30 to 40 amps per outlet. I think you might need special outlets to handle 30 amps. It would be best to at least consult an electrician. Don't skim on safety.
Hi all, I was planning on launching a nice mining farm soon at home in a room in my basement adapted against heat , humidity etc... But I have one concern...electrical outlets. I was just wondering if it would be wiser to make an electrician come over to change stuff such as wires, outlets even the breaker maybe? To support a good 3650 Watts at least per outlet. I know that 2 pc's on one outlet is fine but such power is like 4 pc's! Do you have any suggestions to make that would help me ? Stuff to buy maybe ? Btw I live in North America
Thanks for your help !!!!
Thanks for your help !!!!
