LOL

hashingpro · · #29313

I love the D3 Optimus, it has the trailer and the gun!

hashingpro · · #29314

did you mean power?

may142012 · · #29315

Seriously, which voltage transformer is good for the PSU 1600W?

hashingpro · · #29316

isnt it just 1200?

may142012 · · #29317

Yeah, but i want to plug in 220v to get more power

hashingpro · · #29318

they say the APW3++ work with it fine

hashingpro · · #29319

220v doesnt give you more power

hashingpro · · #29320

just halves the amps

hashingpro · · #29321

all my apw3++ and 5s run on 220V just fine

hashingpro · · #29322

i plan on using the apw5++ on my D3s

hashingpro · · #29323

think those handle up to 2400

may142012 · · #29324

So, i don’t want to run 2 D3 24/7 to break my circuit in my house

may142012 · · #29325

I need a transformer

may142012 · · #29326

The one in the link i sent, is it good?

may142012 · · #29327

Help me please, i have a headache with this

hashingpro · · #29328

im not sure what you want

hashingpro · · #29329

if you have 2 D3s they are going to be using 2400 watts of power

hashingpro · · #29330

+- 5 or 10%

hashingpro · · #29331

at the wall.

may142012 · · #29332

Yeah, but don’t want to break the circuit

may142012 · · #29333

That’s why i want to use a transformer instead

hashingpro · · #29334

how many amp circut is it?

hashingpro · · #29335

http://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/Watt_to_Amp_Calculator.htm

hashingpro · · #29336

says at 220 its 12 amps, at 11 its 23 amps

hashingpro · · #29337

if its a 15 amp circuit with nothing else on it, you can run that 24-7 and only be at 80% load and be fine

hashingpro · · #29338

on 220

may142012 · · #29339

Well it said something 120v/220v, single circuit at 36.4 to 40

kleissen86 · · #29340

may you can use 2 110v on different breakers and make your own 220v by get each 110v feed and making a single plug with 2 110s

kleissen86 · · #29341

just make a trip to home depot and buy what you need

hashingpro · · #29342

may read the last line of that transformer.. WARNING :- Not Recommended for heat producing items such as Microwave & Toaster Etc.

hashingpro · · #29343

wonder if the miners qualify

hashingpro · · #29344

i just had electrician run 220 lines out of the box to receptacles, and plugged them in

hashingpro · · #29345

sorry didnt mess with steppers and transformers

hashingpro · · #29346

may here is the thing, it will pull in the juice to convert it from 110 to 220

hashingpro · · #29347

but it still i think has to pull in that much juice, so the amps on the line will be the same

may142012 · · #29348

So, is the transformer helpful or i will have to return it.

hashingpro · · #29349

I dont see it helping at all tbh

hashingpro · · #29350

I think that would be, I have a plasma torch that runs on 220 and I want to use it in the house

hashingpro · · #29351

i need to convert my 110 to 220 so i can use the device

hashingpro · · #29352

if the transformer plugged into 220

hashingpro · · #29353

then it could pull in 2400 watts at just 12 amps

hashingpro · · #29354

and not kill the circuit and give you power for 2 D3s.

hashingpro · · #29355

but if you have to plug that transformer into a 110 outlet to power it

hashingpro · · #29356

its going to have to pull 2400 watts at 23 amps through your circuit to move it to 2400 watts at 220 with only 12 amps

hashingpro · · #29357

its not the amps from the wall plug to the device, its from the wall plug to the box's fuse

hashingpro · · #29358

so transforming the power from 110 to 220 after its already had to move at 110 through the wall at 23 amps i dont see that helping any

hashingpro · · #29359

unless the transformer is on its own 30 amp fuse?

hashingpro · · #29360

but in that case you could have plugged the D3s to the wall via a surge protector anyhow and bypassed the transformer

may142012 · · #29361

Well, just to be sure i want to plug 2 AWP3++ in the output 110v

hashingpro · · #29362

and that will be 1200 + 1200 watts, 2400 watts

may142012 · · #29363

This transformer can support up to 5000w, so it won’t be an issue, right?

hashingpro · · #29364

and on a 110 volt line that is 23 amps.

hashingpro · · #29365

for the tranformer no

hashingpro · · #29366

it will be totally fine

hashingpro · · #29367

as soon as you plug it all in, the transformer will try to pull 2400 watts in to power your miners

hashingpro · · #29368

and unless you have a 30 amp fuse the 23 amps will pop it

may142012 · · #29369

But i wonder will the transformer blows if i run it at 24/7

hashingpro · · #29370

unless you have 30 amp house fuses, it will blow everytime you turn it on

hashingpro · · #29371

you pull 23 amps across a 15 amp house fuse it will pop every time you turn it over

mycide · · #29372

i set up my L3’s 2 rigs per 220v @ 10 amp fuse but i also plan on running my D3’s on the same so 2 rigs is 2400 watts, should be fine.

mycide · · #29373

my main house fuse is 25 amp

hashingpro · · #29374

for the circuit you will be plugging the miners into?

hashingpro · · #29375

or for the whole house?

hashingpro · · #29376

the L3 on 220 run at 3.6, so 7 of 10 is fine, its under the 80% threshold

hashingpro · · #29377

you can go over 80 but i play it on the safe side

hashingpro · · #29378

but May wants to try and power 2 D3s

hashingpro · · #29379

and im still trying to find out what amp circuit they want to plug in on

hashingpro · · #29380

think trying to get 110 to convert to 220, but if the 100 has to go through the wall then there is no sense converting it after it arrived

hashingpro · · #29381

it only makes sense to convert it at the box so the amps arent pushing a fire load through the walls.

hashingpro · · #29382

May maybe run an extension cord to a 2nd circuit and power 1 each from separate circuits. prolly best you can do if dont have a 220 line run.

hashingpro · · #29383

or a really big fuse for that circuit

may142012 · · #29384

Here is what it said on my main power supply https://gyazo.com/b0dbb10fbf639c73f067cbc990bf5e91

hashingpro · · #29385

ok so that power supply has to be plugged into a 220

may142012 · · #29386

At the outlet?

hashingpro · · #29387

wherever you plug the plug into

hashingpro · · #29388

the socet/receptacle

hashingpro · · #29389

so you need 2 transformers 1 for each power supply per D3

hashingpro · · #29390

and you need to run an extension cord form 1 to a seperate circuit

mycide · · #29391

i dont know about a 110 volt for 2 D3’s but i think 220v can do it.

hashingpro · · #29392

cuase you are still plugging the transformer into a 110 line and each circuit will ahve a 12 amp load on it full time

mycide · · #29393

but if u have 110 in house u might consider paying to have it changed or atleast add a handful of 220’s on separate fuses.

hashingpro · · #29394

think may is trying to use it as is without doing a 220 conversion

hashingpro · · #29395

the easier thing imho

may142012 · · #29396

So i can’t run 2 D3s?

may142012 · · #29397

In my house

hashingpro · · #29398

get rid of that power supply, scrap the transfomrers, get a APW3++ for 150 on ebay and just use that

mycide · · #29399

should be able to run the D3’s but maybe only one per fuse.

hashingpro · · #29400

plug the apw3++s into each miner, plug each power supply into a seperate circuit

hashingpro · · #29401

as long as nothing else runs on those 2 circuits you should be fine

hashingpro · · #29402

if its standard house circuits its 15 amps, so 12 on 15 is fine if nothing else gets plugged in

mycide · · #29403

still wating til first batch in Nov for my D3’s

hashingpro · · #29404

so you have to find out how many circuits and what all is running on them

may142012 · · #29405

At the breaker?

may142012 · · #29406

Well, i have water heater, AC, kitchen, ect...

mycide · · #29407

i upped my main from 16 amp, to 20, and now to 25 amps, make sure i can run it all.

mycide · · #29408

250 usd more per year for that just to have the mains.

mycide · · #29409

800 i think now is the yearly cost for my mains.

may142012 · · #29410

I can’t figure out what my amp is

mycide · · #29411

Can i ask, when you ran all appliances u ever have problems with fuses going?
