I'm looking at a new place for the winter to house some additional mining equipment.
The owner sent me data on the current wiring and since I am terrible at the math, I need help figuring this out.
There are four 240v lines on 50a breakers.
This will support around 10,000 watts?
If I run 1000watt power supplies, and I want to run 10 miners on each line, would I be better off having individual outlets run or a PDU?

simple math is. 240 volts x 50 = 12000 watts
now lets get real one breaker fully dedicated is 12000 watts max for 24/7/365 running time use a 75% safety factor so 75% x 12,000 = 9000 watts
For safety, would you go actual usage on the 9000w or the power supply limit?
Each device is at 800w on a 1000 watt power supply.
Would you calculate 9 devices, or 11 devices.
my guess is 10 at first. close monitor the one 50 amp breaker for about a week to see if 10 is good.
I don't think 11 will work long term. The gear gets weird when you are just a tiny bit overloaded. It may take 20 to 40 days to burn out. I think that 11 pieces per breaker may be a tiny overload.
