Thanks for the reply, yeah in regretting buying that PSU now for sure.

Im also needing info on how to run the miner at home. The instructions that come with the miner say it runs on 20Amp but is only 1600w(6.5Amp). Now it says to run on two circuits at home or not to run at all. Do I need to power this using 2x PSUs plugged into different socket circuits? ( Meaning I can't use the apw PSU anyway )

Any forum users from the UK have an s9 set up at home that can confirm how you have powered it?

210=250 volt socket that can provide 8 amps will be enough

for the psu i linked you to on uk eBay

Hi new to the forum and haven't found any info relating to my problem so here goes

I set up my first s9 with apw PSU a few weeks ago and after around 5 minutes of running one of the capacitors on the PSU exploded and burnt out. In trying g to figure out whether this is a fault with the PSU or if somehow I have caused this.

The miner was set up at home using a heavy duty IEC cable 10a fuse 240v(UK power)

So would this have been a faulty PSU or could I have caused this? Also I've sent the power supply back to bitmain to be repaired/replaced so I have no power supply to tell wether the miner was damaged at the same time. And bitmain are slower than a week in the jail. Had the PSU for 4-5 weeks now. I would've been better off buying a new PSU the day the apw broke.

I once spent a weekend in jail it was pretty slow Grin

Never never never never buy a psu from bitmain

here is why

asic miner = rare and you can not get from many sources
psu = common you can buy at lots of places
