How to select Crypto Mining PDUs
Jun 21 , 2021Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and worldwide payment system. It is the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central bank or single administrator. The network is peer-to-peer and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary.
An ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) designed for mining is essential, but one can be very expensive, and it uses power in a big way. Not just the servers, but also the cooling fans needed to combat the tremendous heat generated by the mining equipment.Power consumption is usually the miner’s biggest expense. It is believed electricity costs need to be kept under 11 cents per kilowatt-hour to maintain a profit.
Bitcoin mining is the process by which transactions are verified and added to the public ledger, known as the blockchain, and also the means through which new bitcoins are created.
A smart power distribution unit (or intelligent power distribution unit) can be a key factor in roping in electricity costs through its energy-efficient standards. For instance, a smart PDU, such as a monitored or switched model, connects to your Ethernet network via a standard RJ45 cable. Through its network interface, the intelligent PDU allows you to monitor your connected equipment from anywhere in the world 24/7. You can also set up automated alerts to notify you of certain events.
Intelligent Power Distribution Units Make Mining More Efficient
North American Bitcoin mining typically relies on multiple, 30-amp connections. Running the electricity through power distribution units, or PDUs to optimizes the power currents. One 30-amp PDU, for instance, can keep four Bitmain Antminer S9 bitcoin mining machines running smoothly, but there are cases where higher amperage is required.
- Energy efficiency. Intelligent PDUs can increase energy savings even as they raise an operation's capacity.
- Remote control. Switch off outlets for security reasons, or shift them for optimal energy use. Manage individual outlets' power levels. Check environmental data from the PDUs and their connected devices. Reboot equipment. Do it all without ever having to make a trip to the data facility or “mining site”.
- Real-time power monitoring. An intelligent PDU will convey to the operator the precise number of amps used.
- Simplicity. Eliminate obstructive circuit breaker dog houses, fuses in storage, or the need to pay a licensed electrician to change the fuses.
Keeping Your Bitcoin Mining Equipment Safe and Dry
In additional to real-time remote monitoring of voltage, frequency and load levels, a smart PDU can also observe environmental levels near your mining equipment. You can place an environmental sensor that measures ambient temperature and humidity. It will send you an alarm if conditions exceed a certain limit. It can also monitor contact closure status of fire alarms, smoke detectors and security systems.
