I'm gonna need 3 of those, thanks Space Goats lol
Just let me know when...
Are you the one that bought the pocket rocket on red's commission? LOL if so be sure to do an efficiency video... I don't think it was you, because you said you weren't good with one hand hehe .
No one is supposed to know i ordered the pocket socket. But yes i will do a video on the efficiency, I'm sure the video will have a great climax....
I figured you had a video if the wiring in the box…just had to look around more . Great stuff.
Heck yeah! It is here. I need 4. One for each 30 Amp outlet :). Rock on man thanks for making this!
NP, Glad to help
What kind of cable is used inside the box? What does the other end of the cable look like? I assume it’s the same type of connector that you show at 10:29 and plugs into the wall where the electrician ran the 30amp circuit? Also what gauge wire did you use for the drox signal?
I have the same question. not sure what kind of cable that is...
Currently trying to make this myself will see how it turns out
Good Luck, Im 3d designing a box for my next 3 Im building
@@spacegoats2194 nice will be waiting to see how those turn out might need one lol these boxs would save a lot on not needing a metered pdu they are expensive .
Slick setup! Quick question on the wiring I couldn't quite make out from the video so please correct me where im wrong. For 220v both your black and white are hot (ie 110) green is ground. It appears you have just the white leg going through the transformer. Then you have a pigtail from both the hot legs (ie white=yellow pugtail and black = black pigtail) going into the voltage block on the meter, am I seeing that straight?
I like the camera idea for monitoring. I have been using smart plugs with voltage monitoring, but it's hard to find good ones for 220-240v. I will have to make a few of these soon !!!
I'm working on a 3d printed box right now, I just started the design process. Hope to have it done here in a couple of weeks
@@spacegoats2194 Cool 👍
OMG I have finally found the 'SpaceGoat' at the end of the rainbow. Dude, I like of love the cloak on invisibility (cannot wait for THAT video!) you wear, and the breadcrumb trail that is left behind by Red Panda et al. "not a professional" my Arse - Awesome work... and I am going to be heartbroken in this video when I watch it does not lead me to be able to either 1) - Make these beauties, or 2) - give you some cash for some. My issue, is I'm on 240V. okay, I have my popcorn, time to Watch.
So I found the box, and the meter on Amazon. What cabling do I use. Then how do I get it hooked up to the breaker?
Great meter , trying to build a shed like yours to run my future rigs
If you build it Rigs will come....
@@spacegoats2194 where did you get those closed mining frames from? It would be awesome if you can make a video about them and specially your ventilation setup
You mean the 13 gpu cases?
@@spacegoats2194 yes
This video is on the 10gpu version of my 13 GPU case. Same case just a little small. th-cam.com/video/jF3p0wyTgUA/w-d-xo.html
Is your outlet a "L6-30r" or a "L6-15r" ?????
So how are you converting the 220 to 120 volt for GPU mining rigs? I need help ASAP...electrician is here
Whats the yellow and black wire on the green side are they spliced into each 120 wire for the 240 read? Got my box and stuff in need to wire it.
those are the signal inputs for the meter that was just extra wire i had
@@spacegoats2194 do the gauge wires matter for these ?
Great milestone more than 100 subsss yaayy. Keep it up 🙂
Thank you so much 😁
Space ghost I have a simlar issue in my server room. What plug do you use to convert the L6-30 to C14 to plug into the power supplies? Are you using a PDU? or break out cable?
I'm trying to figure out what cable to use to plug into the L6-30 sockets I have an convert them to C14 cables that come with the server power supplies. They arent working with my standard wall sockets. I'm not an electrician so please excuse me.
I used a PDU with L6-30 and then used cable for the PDU to power the PSU
@@spacegoats2194 I eneded up getting my hands on a couple of Leviton PDUs after watching more of your videos and from Red Panda thank you so much for getting back to me. Also ordered a gang of c13-c14 cables thanks sir.
would have liked to have seen the other end of the locking plug cable... how to get multiple outlets for plugging those three rigs off one outlet? eli5, kinda.
I use a PDU that has the L6-30P, it have 8 c14 outlets for the mining rigs
@@spacegoats2194 something like this?
www.eaton.com/us/en-us/skuPage.EPBZ91.html
So there's a jumper from each hot terminal of the L6-30 to the green side of the meter, and one of the hots passes through the transformer ring? Is that correct?
Yes
I'm planning now to add these type of meter, I will have a 220V 30amp to my mining room. One thing I can not seem to wrap my head is that if 220V have 2 hot of 110V legs and only 1 is being monitored, how does it able to monitor entire current for the pdu? In my case I am going to use a pdu with L6-30P PDU? I thought I needed 2 meters to monitor
All that is done in the meter, I am guessing there is some smart chip that works like a regular Volt meter...
Those are sweet definatly need one lol
Good Morning, Space Goats! I'd be VERY interested in getting a premade meter. I have another TH-camr - and a fellow Misfit Miner - coming over to do a shoot. If I can swing the install before he comes, I'd like to install one of your meters. Red Panda Mining speaks so highly of them, as do the others that I've seen review them. If not, I can take a whack at making one. Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You are so welcome!
This does not make sense. You will not get a reading for 220 wattage by only having the CT around one leg. All it will see is the current flow on a single leg. I believe your meter displays 220v because you are powering it from the 220, but the CT isn't reading the wattage across both of the hot legs. I don't believe you are getting the reading you expect.
And you can't simply fix this by running the CT around the 2 hot legs either. You can only measure the current flow thru one of the wires. I found your video looking for a way to get a similar output but your way isn't quite right. If I am wrong please explain it to me. Thanks.
You will get current from measuring one wire (one hot "leg") like you said yourself.
If you measure both, you would just get the leakage current against earth.
You will get Voltage from measuring between both hots (or hot and neutral on 120V) > Thats what the Screwed Panel on the Power Meter is for.
Wattage then is simple maths.
Current (A) x Voltage (V) x Powerfactor (cos phi] = Wattage (W)
Current (A) x Voltage (V) = Apparent Power (VA) in AC
Do you sell these 240V power meters? Im currently using the L6-30 connectors.
I don't sell the whole units but will sell a 3d printed box and lid for the L6-30R outlets
@@spacegoats2194 How much? Shipping to 85234 (AZ). Just wondering if the box is something you can get at Lowes/HomeDespot? I don't think I want to invest in a hole saw, probably better to get one 3D printed with all the appropriate cutouts already done.

I sell the box and lid for $20 plus shipping. But you can also use a marine grade box and cut hole in the lid
$20 plus about $10 in shipping
@@spacegoats2194Ive ordered the parts, if you can let me know how to pay you the $30 then we are good to go.
omg that awsome !!
Oh and spacegoats u need to put on end clips on these videos bro'da and a subscribe watermark was well would help. I was trying to veiw the next video and i had to manually. hope It helps
Thanks for the info, im still working on the whole TH-cam thing.
@@spacegoats2194 don't beat yourself up over it bro .i hav only been up for 2 weeks. Good job, i love tha devices u create. Your mad scientist lol
Please get a set of isolated screwdriver and don´t work under voltage!
That´s definitely not save what you´re doing there.
Your channel is hard to find. Searching youtube twice yielded nothing. Your link on BitWits last video was wrong and Red Panda"s last video doesn't even have one. If you had not dropped a message on Red Panda I would not be with you. It's because your reputation precedes you and the computers you build that I put out so much effort. Very much want to explore the T17 video right now so I'll be in touch.
I'm not sure what link I shared on Bitwits but im glad you came. I thought Panda had shard the link in the live comments during the stream. Plus I know that searching for my channel is hard to find, i wish they had some sort of options or filters to make it easier
It was Mining Chamber not BitWits
Apparently these digital meters aren't very reliable in terms of accurate readings based on tons of online reviews...In summary useless unless you just wanted something fancy looking...
