Thanks for photos. I see one fan up high.

I see one near the 2 windows on the floor. I know you have more.

I like the plastic shelfs vs metal. lowers short risk.

you have about 8th? at 5k watts?

1.5--------dragon
2.0--------s-4
2.0--------s-4
1.2--------sp20
1.2--------sp20
1.2--------s-5

I know you have 2.6 with 3 avalon's

that is over 10.6

You may need a second hole for another fan on the high fan side not the window fan side.

Thanks for your advice it is always appreciated. I need to take a few more pictures now two big fans are set up, and one smaller one by window to help cool air push in. Once I move more miners in there I will have another fan to put by 2nd window to help push cool air in.

When It's all said and done I should have (some are underclocked):
Miner     watts    no   total watts
S5    580      1 580
1.5 Dragon 1100    1 1100
S4    1400    3    4200
SP 20    643    2 1286
c1     800    2 1600
Avalon 4.1    549    3    1647

       total watts   10413 Speed is normally high 15T's.

Nice last winter I had 12 sp20's 1 s-5 and 1 avalon 4.1

14 pieces had to underclock them as my power envelope maxes at 7k.

Now with the 2

240 lines

I can do 10k easy power wise this coming winter. but that may never happen.

Been one long day. Being safe takes time to say the least. I will post just a few pics tonight. Eventually I plan on making a new thread and clean it up/make it more readable.

Front currently showing 1 1.5 T Dragon, 2 Antminer S4's, 2 SP20's, and 1 S5.

Back shows the 4 wires that are currently wired:

Network is messy it will be cleaned up and ziptied to look nice in the end. To go is 4 110's and 1 240 on wiring. And yes it could have been easier with all 240, but I just am use to using 110 and had the room so I did it.

I am pretty tired after a day of this, if I wake up with a ton of energy I will do the rest tomorrow. If not it might happen this week or next weekend.

Tomorrow I will be working on it. Don't know how far I will get. I'm hoping to get done this weekend, but it might draw into next weekend.

I WILL be taking pictures though tomorrow to document it. So pictures to come tomorrow night chances are by time I upload them.

don't rush it.. a 240 volt 30 amp line is 7200 watts vs a 120 volt 15 amp line at 1800 watts.

once you think it is done use a meter on the

l6 30r

the 2 hots should read 230-242 volts

1 hot 1 ground should read 120 volts

the other hot with the ground should read 120 volts.

once all 2 readings check out then plug in the pdu it should light up and read 0.0 for amps

If all that works check the sockets in the pdu 2 hots should give you about 230 -242 watts 1 hot to the ground around 120 volts

you can then plug in the psu test just the psu with your trick switch (paper clip whatever you use)

all that works power off the psu and hook 1 miner up just run 1 miner if you are using a avalon 4.1 at 900 gh or so that is about 500 watts or 2 amps on the pdu meter.

after that load the mofo up. and hash away.

Thanks for the advice. The 240 did originally scare me, which is why at first I had a electrician drop a quote on it.

I got lucky that this is a subpanal, and has a switch by the meter the shuts down the entire thing. So when it's being wired no electricity will be live. And it will of course be double/triple checked and still treated with respect.

On 240 I was starting to get a little confused with what to run to the reciprocal. Thanks to philipma1957 I know what will work.

I have 10-2 that will do 2 hots and a ground for the following reciprocal:

I was a little confused between 10-2 and 10-3 was my problem.

Fiber install was successful. A thank you to the goverment for somehow making it where the internet company made money laying fiber to farms. It is amazing the amount of work they put into this project. It was pretty much all last summer. Now they are just starting to use it.

I now have a 50 Mbps internet connection. It was not needed in anyway for mining, but I wanted the bump in speed. So far very very good choice.

Kinda on hold for a day or two. I'm getting a upgrade from regular dsl to a fiber line. This is not for mining I was mining fine at 10 Mbps to hopefully 50 Mbps. So far above what is needed for miners.

Hopefully if all goes well I get it installed tomorrow they have cable close so install should be in few hours if estimate is right. If this goes through then I can focus on my new mining area again.

I guess it's time for a project update. At this point it's getting lot's of parts I have.

Got 2 shelves to hold miners
8 - 20 amp breakers/a bunch of 12 guage wire/reciprocals/reciprocal boxes
Some non-conductive screwdrivers (and this subpanel can be turned off completely during wiring
3 Fans, 2 big fans, 1 medium (In addition to vents already installed and one nice 15 inch duct using a fan to exhaust out)
220 PDU - SERVER-TECHNOLOGY-SWITCHED-Cabinet-Distribution-Unit-CDU-PDU-CX-8H2C211

Parts I still have to get

220 Reciprocal, and 10 gauge wire, and 30 amp breaker

So it's getting there hopefully this coming weekend some progress will be made. And a special thanks to philipma1957 for his help on 220.

Ahh your are lucky you have a nice place to set it up…
Have you looked into solar down the road not now.
better yet a wind turbine?
also not now down the road.

Having a lot of land is cool. I had an uncle with 220 acres .

I did kinda luck out into having lot's of electricity. They wired it thinking it would be used farming. I have 2 power lines coming in the main house has 200 amps just to it, and the newer garage has a subpanal with 100 amps pretty much will be just for mining now. And with it being family farm house, it has just gotten bigger and bigger over the years. And ofcourse the garage/work area that I will be putting miners above.

I looked into solar, it was to much front end cost to justify with .095ish cents KWh. I have not looked into wind turbines as of yet, all these old country family homes are kinda slow on newer technology so haven't seen much of them hit here yet. I would love to have it, but upfront cost just makes it hard to justify.

I enjoy the land it is a lot of fun. One thing I love doing is target practice so it allows me to do this safely outside. Only bad thing is neighbors are a decent ways away. So for security we have camera's streaming and and also a pretty good security alarm system. So between those it will keep my miners safe.

I mine in Alabama with no AC in my warehouse at work. I think my S3's got up into the mid 50's C last summer. That Lasko fan is what I use in front of my miners and then I have another big fan that is mounted on the wall to at least circulate air. Granted, that warehouse is at least 100F in the summer. Probably more.

smracer has a crazy setup to mine in Texas with no AC, but the dude has like $30k invested in intake and exhaust fans.

There is nothing wrong with the lasko it is a very nice fan. The Utilitech Pro's I got are just hard to beat as far as the amount of CFM's they do. I won't be spending near 30k. As far as costs I have 2 shelves, 8 110 circuit breakers, a bunch of 12 guage wire, reciprocals to hook the wire's to. Thanks to philipma I will be adding 1 240 to start with.

I still need to take some before pictures (and clean it a little). Also I would like to measure dimensions if i can find my big tape in the garage. Hopefully this weekend alot of it get's done.

no worries it was nice to help. I can not believe that i waited this long to do some 240 outlets.

remember 12 gauge for a 2 pole 20amp socket

10 gauge for a 30 amp 2 pole socket

I did one of each.

And my 12 gauge is a 2 foot run from the main breaker box. so no worries.

I really like the pdu I linked you to price is good and it has an ethernet feature that allows any one plug to turn on or off. (not going to use it but it is cool)

that lowes fan has a good price 139.99

Two of them in the right spot can pull a lot of heat out of the room.

How many miners will you have ?

Yea It was a good price I got two and had 50 off 250, so was a very nice deal for the amount of CFM.

I currently have a little over 10k watts worth of gear. I planned on going down from winter of 12k watts. But I didn't go as far down as I thought.

So now I'm working on getting a nice setup where I can put all in one room. I have a 100 amp subpanal so have a decent amount of electricity just for miners. Winter was easy and had them separated but I will drain a lot of profit out of it if I used AC to cool them.

Ac is a no go. what size room will these be in? 20 by 20 with a high ceiling?

I don't have exact dimensions. It's above a good sized two car garage and work space. It could park four cars if you wanted to pull them in that far. Good height on ceiling, they made it very steep which added a lot of room in the second story. I need to walk to get dimensions it off it's a pretty massive room.

Sounds bigger the 20 by 25 by 10 that is 5000 cubic feet so your two fans can pull about 15000 cubic feet . You should be okay as long as you are 2x fan power over cubic feet.
What state are you in?
Ie Texas, Alabama, Arizona , New Mexico all very hot.
New Jersey, New York not so bad.

I'm in Kansas. It's the house on the family farm (real crops sadly not a mining farm

). But it give me a ton of room and also 200 amps in main breaker, and 100 amps in separate subpanel not connected to main.

It's been a good thing for mining. But I will be glad to get some rooms back once I get this done and finished on new mining area. And it's a pretty massive area on it I really need to measure or step it off sometime.

Do you have decent power prices? 8 or 9 cents?

I would consider them to be decent, not a super deal. But it's in the 9 cents by time you tack on all the fees and taxes.

under 10 cents lets you mine above power and other costs. thread water is a big part of the game now. then cash on the upswing.

With longer ROI now I don't sell gear near as often as I once was. This new area will allow me to keep my gear over summer (if all works out right) and hopefully have a little room for adding a machine or two as I would guess I will want more.

The longest part of this I think will be getting it's electricity wired. It already has networking going out to it. It's going to start with 110's just as it's easy/cheap to do. And hopefully get some 240 later on down the road. It's a heck of a breaker box with 100 amp so lot's of options.

Is the breaker box in the new building?

I assume it is please post a photo of it.

240 volt is really easy to do.

1 30 amp 2 pole breaker in the breaker box if the breaker box has a pair of 120 wires feed to it.
1 30 amp plug
a 10 gauge romex wire a used pdu on ebay

and you are done.

I will try tomorrow to get a picture. It is a big box. It's ready to have breakers put in it. I still need to do some cleaning in second story. Have 12 guage wire for the 110's and breakers. It is a subpanal that goes to new building it has 100 amp going to it.

I could use your advice on PDU I was looking at http://www.tripplite.com/metered-pdu-30a-208v-240v-0u-vertical-c19-c13-outlets-nema-l6-30p-single-phase~PDUMV30HV/ . It appears it uses "NEMA L6-30P" plug. What type of reciptical do I need for that?

I would truly appreciate your advice on what type of receptical you wired the 240 to that would work with most PDU's.

http://www.lowes.com/pd_13538-296-HOM230CP_4294722484__?productId=1014737&Ntt=2+pole+30+amp&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3D2%2Bpole%2B30%2Bamp&facetInfo=

this ebay seller has good pdu's

I have 2 of these. they have an amp meter built in very good price

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121380956007?

Thank you! That reciprocal is great I was banging my head against the wall on what I needed. And I love the price of that PDU vs some of the others.

I will get some pictures of box soon. I will also see if i can find my measure to get dimensions. Hopefully next weekend this project will be done if not mostly done.

1 30 amp plug
a 10 gauge romex wire a used pdu on ebay

and you are done.

I will try tomorrow to get a picture. It is a big box. It's ready to have breakers put in it. I still need to do some cleaning in second story. Have 12 guage wire for the 110's and breakers. It is a subpanal that goes to new building it has 100 amp going to it.

I could use your advice on PDU I was looking at http://www.tripplite.com/metered-pdu-30a-208v-240v-0u-vertical-c19-c13-outlets-nema-l6-30p-single-phase~PDUMV30HV/ . It appears it uses "NEMA L6-30P" plug. What type of reciptical do I need for that?

I would truly appreciate your advice on what type of receptical you wired the 240 to that would work with most PDU's.
