Topic: Setting up my first S9's and L3+'s in a local data center - URGENT help required (Read 143 times)

Add up your power in watts and divide by 110 to get amps. I thought L3 were 1200 watt and I know the newest s9 are 1500, so I get 49a or 3 circuits needed

Hi all,
I'm leaving the country for a month on Friday, and I've just received my miners. They'll make ~$3.5k in coins at current prices over that month, so i really need them setup before then - however, very confused on power requirements.
Setting them up at NOCRoom data center in LA. The initial contract had only 110v, though I know the S9's require 220v. When I asked for a new price with 220v, they wanted 3 times the prices ($1,100 per month).
Therefore, I'm looking at keeping the contract to the 110v circuit, and using 2 transformers for the S9's:

Given that I'm not concerned about the power inefficiencies when adding transformers, should this be OK? I'm looking at running 2 x L3's straight into the 110v, and 2 S9's via 3000W transformers into the 110v.
The contract provides 1 single 20A breaker @ 110v. Will this suffice, or do I need more?
Thanks for your advice.
