No, because the draw of each Avalon is approximately 5 amps, so 4 will have you tripping the breaker. When I went up to 4 units I upgraded to a 30 amp circuit, and then a PDU.

@Phil: i think 30A pdu should work with 20a outlet. 30A is how much load the PDU could handle, and our outlet only provide maximum of 20A. Correct me if im wrong.


Well  here is the deal.  a 30 amp pdu  can have 24 amp hooked up to it 24/7/365

if you  swap out the plug  it will connect to your 20 amp  circuit  and if you do 3 avalon 741's  you are fine if you load the 4th one you are not fine.

but if you  get this

you can do 2 avalon 741's



you can use up to 15amps on the setup.  and 2 avalon 741's are about  9-11 amps
with this outlet in your place



Phil, i measured my outlet last night, it's 240V, 20A. So it will provide me 240x20 = 4800W. that mean I could run up to 4 Avalon right?

What type of PSU are you using? You might not need a PDU as you won't have a lot of room to expand your mine off that outlet anyways, tops one more Avalon 741.

Here is an option, it even leaves a little room for more powerful miners in the future. They are good to deal with and can give you a lot of useful information.

im using 2x650W PSU for computer to power up the Avalon.

I just got my Avalons 741x2. There is an outlet inside my apartment look like the picture below. I usually use it for my AC unit. Can someone advise me where to buy a cord to connect the PSU to the wall to run 2 Avalon.
Please help.

these will connect to most psu's

you have a nema 6-20r outlet see wiki

your psu  most likely is a   c19 or c20

Phil, i looked at this PDU on ebay, do you think it will work with 20A outlet?
