ASIC Power & Electrical Requirements

Before you buy an Antminer, check the electrical: most modern ASICs require a dedicated 240V circuit and will not run on a standard 120V outlet. This reference gives the stock wall power, required voltage, recommended breaker, matching Bitmain PSU and typical plug for every in-stock model.

Quick answer

Every ASIC miner has two electrical facts that decide whether you can even plug it in: how many watts it pulls at the wall, and what voltage it needs. Most modern Antminers are NOT 120V appliances — they require a dedicated 200-240V circuit, the same class of service as an electric dryer or EV charger, and will not start (or badly under-deliver) on a standard household outlet. This reference gives the stock wall power, the required voltage, a computed dedicated-circuit/breaker size, the matching Bitmain PSU and a typical plug for 11 in-stock models, so you can size your electrical BEFORE you buy.

The single most important buyer fact: of these 11 models, only the Antminer S9 and Antminer L3+ run on a standard 120V/15A household outlet — every S19, S21, T19 and L7 REQUIRES a dedicated 200-240V circuit (plan the electrical first; an S21 on 120V simply will not run). Figures are stock nameplate (Bitmain ~+/-5%, and firmware/tuning move them); breaker math assumes 240V single-phase, so 208V commercial service draws ~15% more current.

Antminer S9 SHA-256
Bible TDP = 1400W; Bitmain rated wall power for the 13.5T variant is ~1323W, so 1400W is conservative. Breaker: 1400W/120V=11.7A -> /0.8=14.6A -> 15A; at 240V only 5.8A. S9 stock variants vary (13.5T/14T, S9j 14.5T); D-Central S9s are typically refurb/as-is — verify per unit.
13.5 TH/s1,400 W4,777 BTU/h
120V plug-and-play (heater-class)
Yes — 120V OK
Runs on 120V. This is the ONLY model here that flexibly accepts 120-240V at full output, because the APW3++ PSU has universal 100-264V input. Ideal home/space-heater unit.
120V / 15A (dedicated) OR 240V / 15A
C13/C14 IEC inlet on APW3++ PSU; standard NEMA 5-15 cord at 120V (NEMA 6-15 if run at 240V)
