Question 1

When i plug in a psu does it need to be in 240v?

Accepted Answer

This particular PDU is rated for a 208/240 Volt 20 Amp twist-lock input supply (L6 receptacle).  By design, the plug will not fit into a 120 Volt receptacle.  Whatever voltage it gets on its power whip (input) will be available to its 14 outlet receptacles (output).  There is no power conversion or drop-down transformer insdie.  So if you're plugging in a device like a server or PC, it's power supply unit must be rated the same.  The C13/C14 type plugs are used for 120V-240V applications.  MOST of the devices with these type of plugs have AUTO switching PSUs in them.  However, you should NEVER assume.  Please read the rating on your device's power supply unit.  Many older PSUs had a manual switch to select the appropriate voltage type.  A mismatch equals disaster.  If you give 240V to a 120V device, you'll likely fry it.  If you give 120V to a 240V device, good chance you'll fry it as well due to a "brown out" type of situation.

I would start with your input side (wall receptacle or power whip).  If you don't have the appropriate power available for this device to plug into, this is probably not the right PDU for you.  I've yet to run into a twist lock socket that was not marked; albeit often hard to read.  If you can get a good look (maybe use the camera on your phone), you should be able to see a ring with something like "L6-20" or "L5-20" stamped on the face of the receptacle.  This device requires "L6-20".  L=locking, 6=208-240V, 20=20A.  You pretty much need all three things to match.  If you have a standard US wall receptacle (NEMA 5-15) or a 120V twist lock receptacle (L5-20), again, this is not the right PDU for you.  Hope this helps.

Question 2

Is this pdu sufficient for my s19j pro 104t miner? i have an l6-30r receptacle being installed on monday and wanna make sure i ordered the correct pdu

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is more than enough for any of the S19j Pro models. Technically, it could run two of them, though I wouldn’t recommend doing so because you’ll exceed the NEC 80% loading rule.

One unit will probably hover around 14A give or take, and depending on ambient temperature. Beware the S19 series put off a LOT of heat, so it’s something you’ll need to be prepared for.
