Well.. 10Amp cable is quite good enough for me. Doesn't heat. Already use it for 2 months & as a safety measure, I added MCB.

Adding an MCB to inadequate cable is pretty much useless, your cable and wires must be able to handle more than what the MCB can handle, if you use a 10A cable on S17e then you are simply asking for trouble, the 2700w on Bitmain's website (you pasted the wrong link by the way) is based on 220V which means the miner pulls 12.27A constantly if your voltage drops to say 200 then it will pull 13.5A, and even at 240V which is the max input voltage the miner will still draw 11.25A, by all means unless you underclock the miner then 10A cable isn't what you want to use.

you have inaccurate info.
I bolded it. bitmain does not supply a cable.

Yeap correct. Edited.

And 10 amp cables are not very good.
If you run a s17e you want 15 amp cables.

How much power do you have? i really dont know.
days ago I called an electrician to find out if I needed anything and he said: you can have 5 more than 5 you have to change the cables for 20 machines. after that I have to develop a project.

Each antminer S17e-60TH/s electricity consumption is 2700 W. (https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021167174-S17-Pro-Specifications)
Based on your electrician calculation, "you can have 5 more" means your house watt is more than 10k watt.
For cables : Standard cable power from bitmain is 6 AMP. Better to use minimum 10 AMP (I have used this type of cable on all my miners, and for last 2 months, I have not had any significant issues.). This 10 AMP cable has the strength against the heat generated by the miner.

Does it work? https://imgur.com/ZFScF4j. I will consider if the machine is damaged.

If you have 0.0032 cent power that is under 1 us penny .

you will make money.

Now you also need decent internet.

Here comes the next part you need gear that works .

If your bitmain gear breaks you almost certainly will lose weeks getting it repaired.

Other issues some countries restrict mining and mining may get you in trouble.

I would ask you.

How much power do you have? 4 kilowatts 24 hours every day is close to 100 kilowatts in a day or about 100 x 0.0032 = 32 cents

your miner earns about 5 or 6 usd a day so

5- 0.32 = 4.68 a day in 100 days 468 dollars. next 100 days maybe 368 next hundred days maybe 268

that adds to 1104 in 300 days. you could make money with this unit.

Hi everybody! First I want to say that my English is not very good.

In my country cost per Kwh is 0.0032$. so i would like buy an antminer S17 e- (60 Th/s) my idea is used the first to learn about how does it work, how is the sound, how does red work, nodos, profit,and everything else. In addition to that, I will plan the electrical connections in the future, conditioning the rooms and everything that I consider pertinent.

Now. What is my problem? well. here i don't know someone who has a farm. so i can not ask It is profitable?

i see the antminer on the OficialPage cost 800$ but this machine recovers the investment in a year according to Whattomine.com ok? now. in the next 6 months there will be newer equipment, and the blockchain dificult will increase. i thingk I will be obliged to buy a more current one without having recovered the investment. it look like a bad bussines but It feels like I'm wrong because the machines run out fast.

So. my question is.. is it profitable? Could I start with a machine? How long will this machine last before it stops being profitable?

Thanks.
