Powering My Crypto Mining Shed | Power, Electrical and Wiring for Mining in a Shed

[@goldiesproductreviews7968]

You could have made your life easier and ran a single SE line from your main panel to a sub panel in your shed. You could have only needed to run 1 conduit for power and saved on the 12/2 and 10/2 lengths.

This^

On top of that, you now have to derate those parallel run !! 2 * 240v (NEC) section 310-10 -> 1) you have more than 3 conductors cables in parallel ( bundling ) and 2) heat will accumulate in those conduits. these are not 30A circuit anymore

[@lukenahory3146]

That is exactly what I was thinking

[@iainkay3630]

@@locke3817 yeah the electrician may advise less than a 30a breaker depending on how much they feel that installation method will limit the current carrying capacity without overheating the cables. They will know the calculations off the top of their head tho I suspect, or effortlessly look it up in the regulations book.

THM looking good! Nothing major jumps out at me other than in my area any outside lines need to be run in a hard tube but that’s just my code here yours maybe different, thanks for a awesome update! Keep them coming can’t wait to see your shed online! BTW there is nothing wrong with cat5 if you only want 1Gbps uplinks, and that may even be more than your internet speeds right now .. the only thing I would have done differently would be to run a little larger tube for all the power lines 10/2’s and 12/3 in one tube, and match the enter point of the shed in the corner just like the house,, having less outside expose tube as possible, other than that looks great to me. Still awesome work and great update!

romex isnt supposed to be run in plastic conduit, but with your 80% rule, you probably wont overheat it. I don't think its at all a real world concern, but if you plan to have that inspected they might kick up a fuss. At least you dont have any junctions in plastic boxes. thats the only real no-no. not worth redoing, but romex from panel to a metal junction box, then THHN wire from J box through plastic conduit to another metal J box in the shed, from there you can go back to romex. just pop those two cat5 runs in the garage in a 1 gang LV box and terminate them in RJ45 keystones and run a patch cable to your basement feed IMO.

I'd recommend you have the electrician calculate your loads for that service panel. With all of those 30A 240v circuits being used full-time, I suspect you will exceed the capacity of the main service panel wires coming in from the street and the panel's main (200A?) breaker. Just because you have blank breaker spaces in the panel doesn't mean the panel can handle the combined loads.

Nice work! The electrical is the most important and can be the most expensive part of the process. Well worth it though. I actually need to figure out how to run a direct ethernet line to my garage so that I can use my switch in there that I got. Of course ventilation is still higher on my priority list to deal with. The fun of being a miner!

[@irts10]

a detached structure is only allowed one circuit, if you need more than that you install a sub panel. You cannot run multiple feeds to a detached structure

[@lukelegg9915]

this, and needs to be solid conduit not flex

[@alexs1540]

Electrical is easily one of the most important areas of mining and I'm having trouble making the proper considerations. This type of content is much appreciated

[@lukelegg9915]

take this video with a grain of salt, the amount of broken code i see is painful, consult an actual electrician

[@georgey8280]

FYI the 90 degree going into the house should be vertical like the one you were complaining about (weren't really). That is so the screws could be accessed in the case of an emergency or needed repair. The way you have it now makes this impossible with them being stacked on top of one another.

[@taines2]

It also would have made it so much easier to pull the wires through

[@ryankirby610]

What’s your plan for cooling?

[@darklord2703]

really enjoying the videos!

[@Desertjoe789]

Dude! How are you gonna open those later, you can’t get to the screws… 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ZaPirate]

for the network, you could mount cat5e outlets on each side(garage and shed). Should be a cleaner look and leaves room for changes in the future. Great content as always. Would be great if the electrician allows you to film while he does the work on the panel.

[@Steel_City_Mining]

Just curious. On your exhaust. How do u keep the rain water out. Say during a thunderstorm?

[@bignicnrg3856]

WRONG!!! You stacked the boxes when they should lay flat. Screws out.

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Could you provide more details. I don't follow.

[@goldiesproductreviews7968]

I think he means they should be rotated 90 degrees so the plate with screws are facing away from your wall instead of facing the sky. Similar to the orientation of the one under your main box inside.

[@lukelegg9915]

so much broken code, good luck if the city decides to check.... 😬

[@mmgsmadminbass6889]

Be carefull with electricity! Happy 4th of July!

[@slicknick8713]

Looking good sir. What size amp is ur Main panel? Hope all is well and keep living the dream good sir

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

200

[@troy2923]

So much to learn, great though going through it with you, also a great community of knowledge to append to it, thanks THM

[@alexs1540]

Excellent mining channel

[@mprelectrical]

Why haven't you run an earth cable with the supply cables?

[@ZaPirate]

was about to ask the same. Checked the USA cables, the ground wire is included. can be seen @ 7:44

[@edwinstoop6011]

Looks good hope the shed is not to small for the future !🤣🤣

[@paladdin1500]

Nice!! 👏

[@TheFutureisTheFuture]

All I'm sayn is I hope your town electrical inspector is not a subscriber. 🙂 I do enjoy the videos!!

[@Murr808]

That’s a lot of power for a hobbyist miner 😂

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Maybe... :P

[@greghuffdogehuffman7381]

Do you have solar?

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

I do.

[@CryptoMiningInsider]

Looking Great Hobbyist !!! I think it's a very smart idea to have Professional do your Hookup. I recently had a Licensed Electrician do my upgrades too as safety measure and incase I ever have an insurance claim - I don't want to give them reason to DENY it.
