What's an RCD?
I'm in the UK
Homes here have a standard 100 amp supply, with 240V wall sockets.
I'm not expecting to be able to run them all, but just wanting to confirm my understanding in terms of what the RCD rating allows. As the total of all the RCDs in the panel exceed 100amps.

What country are in? Most newer homes in the United States have a 200 amp residential panel. The circuit breakers in the panel are generally rated 15 to 20 amps and are shared by one or two outlets. 16 S4 at 1400 watts per S4 you are looking at 22,400 watts. No way you can run this many S4's with only 100 amps.
With a standard 100 amp residential supply my consumer unit is split up with a number of RCD's.
My garage which hosts all my mining equipment has an RCD of B40 (I assume that's 40 amps), on the main board, with an RCD in the garage too.
Does this mean the totality of my miner consumption must not exceed 40amps, calculated as PSU Watts/240V.
For example if I have an Antminer S4, which has a 1.4kW PSU, this is consuming 5.8amps? Therefore I can only have 40/5.8 = 6 S4's on this RCD?
Or is the consumption and the RCD related in a different way.
The reason I ask is that if was to bulk buy the 16 S4's from Bitmain (ignore ROI for now
), I would need effectively 4 B40 RCD's?
Have I understood that correctly?
Thanks
