I currently have a L shaped dryer socket. (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Certified-Appliance-90-1028-3-Wire-Dryer-Cord-10/24250617?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227017874922&wl0=&wl1=s&wl2=c&wl3=40344209432&wl4=pla-78309141872&wl5=1013962&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=24250617&wl13=&veh=sem)

I need to find an adapter, or is it cheaper to have the socket replayed ?

Change the outlet. Will only cost you $15 or so and is very easy. MAKE SURE TO KILL THE POWER AT THE PANEL!

Have your electrician install L6-30 outlets, it's what your pdu will use.

That PDU will actually be great, thanks for the tip.

And yes I do have the 30Amp connected to two panel spots, so I guess its 220V.. So I am in the clear!

Thanks a lot guys.

I am doing basically the same setup. I am running 2 new dedicated 30A lines to the basement and each will have a PDU at the end. This way I am ready to add miners in the near future. Working on a soundproof enclosure now that should fit 3 S9's and the PSU's inside, with ventilation out my basement window to remove the heat.

Hi there,

I just wanted to double check, are you sure your dryer plug is wired for 110V. Most are wired up as a 220V circuit. If your not sure how to check, look at the panel, if it is a double breaker and takes up 2 panel spots.

I second the idea of setting up with a PDU, but would also suggest, maybe wiring in another circuit dedicates to mining, if your original circuit isn't 220V.

Also I would suggest getting a PSU that is rated to handle the load. This problem would also be solved by using a 220 V circuit for your mining. A lot of the problems I see on here are people coming to close to their PSU output and the Miners either not powering on or shutting down.

Hi guys,

I am just going to type out loud and would like to hear your thoughts on the matter..

I have 2 S9s each with their own APW3++. I have a 30A 3 prong washer line that is not being used. I want to connect the miners there since they have the largest amperage on my breaker box.

I wanted to buy a 30A Plug to (2)15A Cord Adapter Camper Y Electrical Split Adapter (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073WBD5NK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A33CMOVE6L77VZ&psc=1)

I am in the US so 110V (Also note that the house is newly wired).

110V * 30A = 3300W max that I can provide to that Dryer outlet.
Splitting my 30A socket to 2(15A) means 1650W each plug
Each APW3++ can supply 1200W on 110V but can provide 1600W on 220V.
Each S9 puts out 1323W

So both S9 would requires 2646W in total which is less than a 80% load on my 30A dryer socket.

Question 1: If my PSU can only provide 1200W on 110V and my 13.4TH/s S9 requires 1323W will it not work or just under perform?

Question 2: Am I able to run both miners on the 30A washer socket?

Thank you for your time. I want to make sure I am doing this correct, please provide any feedback.

Instead of the Y splitter, you can get a PDU for the same if not less cost and add 1 or 2 more S9's to it down the road. Plan ahead!

Exapmple below: I grabbed 2 of these for $25 each from another seller
