Your rig is pulling 4k kw/h what? 
At least use some proper cables.
4,67 kW is insane.

Sorry I got my maths wrong. It is drawing 1 kw unit per hour. The reason I am asking is because my Dad has got it into his head that it is a fire risk. I have done my research and I cannot find anything to suggest it is. I was looking for some feedback from the community here because there are people who have massive rigs and I have never seen anything about their rigs causing fires. I am in a position where I may have to rent an office to put it in now and I don't really have the money or mining power to justify doing that
its more of a noise risk than a fire risk... when the fans get blowing in summer they can really make a lot of noise.
most standard houses in the 3-4 bedroom range.. have circuits that can easily handle up to 4000W.. if you want to check what your house can handle then go outside and look at your power junction box
each circuit will have a switch that is usually labeled, for the part of the house it covers, and has a power rating... Watts = Volts x AMPs that's how much power you need to draw from that circuit (ie everything plugged into that part of the house) before the circuit trips...
most people who build their own mining rigs usually leave them open (outside the case) for better ventilation.. if you do that just make sure that you put the rig in a place where curtains, paper, metallic objects, liquids, PETS etc cant accidentally fall into the rig and either cause a short circuit or fire.
if your rig is an off-the-self ASIC mining rig which is enclosed then all you need to do is make sure the fans and vents are not blocked so that nice airflow can cool the rig down..
Thank you that is really helpful. I will have a look in the morning.
