One way to tell is to open up the load center panel and look at the bars below the circuit breakers.
The breakers are often every other breaker on same leg/phase.
That is why dual leg 240 curcuit breaker is wider, it needs to grab 2 different phase.

If you have a voltmeter _AND_ skills to measure voltage at the outlet _AND_ a long extension cord.
measure between the hot legs of different outlets.
(The hot leg is the small plug prong)

0 volts equal same leg/phase
240 volts equal different phase

DO NOT TRY THIS IF UNCOMFORTABLE WITH AC WIRING
You usually only get one time to burn your house down.
I'd suggest saving that one time for when you need to destroy evidence or something similarly nefarious.

YMMV


EDIT
What I described above is how to tell if circuits are on different legs.
The tool Joe mentioned is the EASIEST way to locate outlets on the SAME circuit.

You could get a lamp, turn off all but one circuit and test every outlet for live outlets, rinse, repeat.

Hi,

BTC refunds are usually processed within a week but it will take longer this time and therefor we can not give you a specific date of when your refund will be processed.
Our finance department is working on the refund queue at this moment, and hopefully we will have them all processed shortly.

18.2 BTC  refunded   

Received two jupiters from hosting less than a month ago...   one went down this weekend and turned it back on to get some sparks and then a rather large flame from one of the boards.   removed case and disconnected the charred board and turned on again.    now running 3 boards and contacted KNC for a return.   

Connected to a gold 1200 watt power supply running the default (factory) settings. Average temp 58 C.

(Refund update, got a USD refund for my last Neptune.  Request Date = 2nd week in april.  Refund date = 5/20)

this may help as well as mentioned in a post before can tell the load on your panel...i have a 100amp panel (no central a/c and water boiler heat) likely i'll have no issues but will be good to know what i draw now with the window a/c in the bedroom and the current Jupiter ..for less then 60 bucks it is worth getting imho

if nothing else will really tell me if i need to go to a 200 amp service or not w/o relying on the guy who wants to make a living putting these in telling me

Yes look for something like this:

I think that knc maybe starts problems

HI,

Unfortunately, that is not the case. All refunds must follow a set financial process before any funds can be sent back to the customer.

This will be sent to you shortly.

Me Ether, I can't afford short life span and expensive ASIC miner any more, actually that ate my profit.

It really just crept up on me. I knew I was nearing the limits of the individual breakers in my house before my FrankenJup arrived. That's why I bought a PDU so I could utilize the 30amp dryer outlet. I had tripped some individual breakers in the past but nothing serious. So I'd just move machines to other breakers. I had no idea I was reaching the limits of the entire house. And I even retired my AM Blades, BFL Singles and my USB sticks to be cautious.

I might have been ok when my Monarchs finally arrive but then KNC sent the second set of boards. And of course I had to get some of them running too! What kind of BTC miners leaves ASIC boards in boxes wrapped in bubble wrap?  Lol.

I now have no further plans to acquire any new hardware even when my current stuff becomes obsolete or dies. Trying to keep up with the difficulty has quickly become impossible. Even the most efficient ASICs coming later this year aren't enough to keep me in the game. It's been a fun ride but it's time to let my farm die slowly.

Hey, does anyone know how to tell which electrical outlets are on the same circuit? Is there some kind of tool out there you can buy that you can plug in one outlet then go around to each other outlet and when it sees that other plug it will light up or something? When my house was built the electricians did a SHIT job, but since I switched from central AC to window AC I have some power to play with but want to make sure what outlets are on what breaker. I know they messed up because a couple outlets in my living room go out at the same time ones go out in my office.  And that's two room away. Unless that's the way it is done? I was NEVER any good at electricity. Horrible at it.

Yea dude....you don't wanna burn down your friggin house even if it is a rental or not to mine for bitcoin. You'll either be dead or in jail for killing someone.

This of course was expected, right? You live in the US and have normal home wiring?

Right now i just have a Jupiter and will be adding an Spoondoolie SP10 and that will be a challenge for me when it gets warmer out. Keeping everything running and cool is gonna be a bitch and LOTS of people are going to freak when they keep snapping breakers in their home. This is why I stopped myself from getting an SP30, just don't have the juice and can't afford to re-wire my home.

What puts a big question mark in my head is die hard miners will spend some times $5,000 upgrading their electrical panel in their home, but they won't add that to the total of the cost of the mining hardware to break even?

Thank you.

November Jups are the same boards as FrankenJups. And yes, I started at that setting. Some boards and/or dies just wouldn't get enough juice at that setting so I bumped up the voltage and MHz until they started to run at a decent speed.

Right. Doesn't everyone have a degree in Electrical Engineering? 

I agree. This wouldn't happen with proper power planning.  Sorry, I just assumed everyone did that.

Know the max load on each power point, max load on each circuit, and max load on the entire house as a whole. Then never go above 80% of that for continuous power draw (e.g. mining). Measure every device that draws power (measured at the wall) to create an inventory of everything that draws power (not just miners). If you can't measure, estimate it based on manufacturer specs (e.g. microwave is 1kW).

Make a spreadsheet of everything so you can keep track of power draw at every level, from overall house down to individual power point. Before buying an ASIC, plan how it will fit into the grand scheme.

I have the numbers turn orange if they go over the 80% threshold, and red if over max draw. This is for planning. When looking at a miner, put it into the spreadsheet first. If any of the numbers go orange or red, either don't buy the miner or sell some older ones so the new one will fit.

How do I underclock the Nov Jupiters? Does the "-0.1099/750MHz" work ok with Nov Jupiters?

One of the benefits of buying high-quality Gold and Platinum PSUs is their efficiency. The majority of my PSUs are Corsair AX1200i, AX860 or EVGA Supernova G2 1300w. And they all run super quiet and cool.

The only real junky PSU (Enermax) I have came installed in my Antminer S2. I swapped it out with an AX1200i because it couldn't handle the load. I used it to run 3 BFL Singles for a few days before I pulled them from mining duty. It ran so hot I thought it was going to burst into flames, lol.
