80% of rated is the rule.
200amp panel can provide 160amps static load.
3000w x 2 = 6000W.....30amp 240v can provide 7200watts but only 5760 static load. Your asics will be a static load so i would put 2 on a 40amp circuit or 1 each on individual 20amp circuits.
Also consider what the static draw is on the panel already and if you have the available static load. This is done by using an amp meter on the mains coming into the panel.
I highly recommend having a licensed electrician do the work. Most places have NEC (or similar) electrical code requirements and also a lot of places require permitting and inspection of these matters.
Short cuts in power can quickly lead to much bigger problems.

Hey guys,
Was looking to expand my micro-farm some as the 10 ASICs have moved past RoI. Yet this time I was looking to go with Larger ASICs. What looks to be anything over 3000+ Watts really with how things are going. So I have been using some baseline math really when it comes to power. 30 amps = 7200 watts on a 240-volt line, obviously. So when I was looking at these 3k ASICs, I was thinking it appears that you could get 2 of them on the same 30 amp breaker if you just did a splitter, with nothing crazy as a PDU.
What are your thoughts on using a 30amp breaker, and plug and using something like: https://www.homedepot.com/p/AC-WORKS-L14-30P-5-ft-10-Gauge-4-Prong-30-Amp-Generator-Locking-Plug-to-Four-15-Amp-20-Amp-Household-Power-Distribution-Cord-L1430F520-05BK/311403955 to split up the connections. As most of these need two outlets and that would be able to support the two of them. On a 30amp line that would add up between 6k-6400 watts.
I have been looking into how people have done this but haven't found any definite "this is how we are doing it". Guides.
Thanks in Advance!
