Hi, I'm new here. I was thinking of buying this miner:
http://gawminers.com/collections/all-miners/products/shipped-pre-order-september-6-th-s-spondoolies-tech-sp30-yukon-batch-1
and bringing it to college to use it. I live in a single room in a building that was created in the last 5 years. While I don't know much about electricity and the like, I am worried that the miner I was going to buy will draw too much electricity. I wouldn't want to cause a short or something like that. I do not want to damage the room's electrical circuits/wall outlets. I guess my main question is whether I'd be able to plug my bitcoin miner into a wall outlet and begin using it or if I'd need to take special precautions? Would I have to use both the plugs that are provided with the miner? Or could I just plug it into one outlet? Also do you guys have any tips I should keep in mind? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Google says:
UK power outlet is rated at 240V and at 13A which works out to ~3120W
North America, a 120V receptacle is going to be on a 20A breaker; so ~2400W
Probably not, but maybe you could split the units draw between two outlets?
