  • What is crypto mining?

To put it simply, crypto mining is like looking for precious diamonds in an infinite mine. The only way to get ore is that you must use crypto mining software to solve code puzzles and get rewards in the form of cryptocurrencies. So how to conduct crypto mining, we need a complete set of mining equipment, including crypto mining software crypto mining calculator, powerful GPU CPU hard disk There is also a need for efficient and sufficient electricity. We are here to focus on how to obtain a sufficient crypto mining power supply.

 

  • Why use transformer for crypto mining?

The first component in the encrypted mine will be the transformer. Transformers are usually provided by utility companies or purchased privately. Transformers obtain medium and low voltages from substations. Generally, the commonly used voltages are 27.96kv, 4.5kv, and 13.8kv, and convert them into usable low voltages 208V 3 Phase Delta 240V/415V 3 Phase Wye 277V/480V 3 Phase Wye that can supply power to miners.

  • How does the transformer work for crypto mining?

There are mainly two types of transmission and distribution transformers that are frequently used, pad-mounted transformers, and mini-substation transformers. These transformers are housed in a larger green metal or grey stainless steel "box". Here, the voltage is gradually reduced from the utility level to a lower voltage, which can be used directly by customers. Re-used secondary cables are usually installed by customers to connect the secondary side of the transformer to the building. These transformers serve commercial and industrial customers with greater power requirements, so they are also widely used in Bitcoin mining in the Americas, especially in the United States, Canada, and other countries.

  • How to choose a Pad Mounted transformer for crypto mining?

So let's take a closer look at transformers and how to make sure you've selected the right one. There are mainly 3 main parameter values that we need to consider.

(1) Input voltage - that is, the primary voltage using the transformer. This is the voltage provided by the state, the utility organization.

(2) Output voltage - that is, the secondary voltage of the transformer. This is the voltage you will use directly and connect to your crypto mine power supply.

(3) Power used - this is the total wattage of the total power used by the transformer or your entire mining rig. The power unit is usually expressed in KVA, MVA

(4)So how to calculate KVA for a pad-mounted transformer?

The equipment capacity is KVA, and the calculation power should be calculated according to the characteristics of the equipment. Long-term continuous duty three-phase equipment: Calculated power = equipment capacity KVA × power factor.

 

Three-phase equipment with short-term repeated duty: Calculated power = equipment capacity KVA × under the root sign (0.25/equipment duty cycle); single-phase equipment with long-term continuous duty (220V): Calculated power = equipment capacity KVA × 3; Long-term continuous duty single-phase equipment (380V): Calculated power = equipment capacity KVA × 3 under the root sign.

The sum of the rated capacity or rated power (data on the nameplate of the equipment) of all electrical equipment installed within the calculation scope (but the loads that are not used at the same time should be excluded) is the basic data and basis for the design and calculation of the power distribution system.

 

There is a "rated power" on the nameplate of the electrical equipment, but due to the different rated working conditions of each electrical equipment, for example, some are long-term working systems, and some are repeated short-time working systems.

  • What is the role of the Chinese  Pad Mounted Transformer in the Bitcoin market?

Chinese in the Bitcoin market.

  • The first category, making mining machines, selling mining machines

Basically, all the mining machines in the world, whether they are foreign brands or Chinese brands, are all made in China (made in China is really arrogant). For a while, there was no profit for copycat machines, and the mobile phone industry was at overcapacity, so many mobile phone manufacturers changed their boards to mining.

  • The second category, miners

One of the largest mining groups in the world is in China. The computing volume of mining machines in China accounts for a large part of the world. Chinese people have unique conditions for mining - public appliances, and some people use the cluster mining of units.

  • The third category is for trading websites

Represented by Binance/Huobi/Okex/Bitforex, so far, the three major exchanges in China + one futures trader have monopolized the world's bitcoin transactions, and the total daily transaction volume is about 1 billion to 1.5 billion. A-share industry and commerce The bank only has a transaction volume of 100-200 million yuan a day.

  • In the fourth category, the bookmaker

The recent rise in bitcoin led by China is their work. These people are from A-shares. They are called daily limit death squads in the A-share market. Such a bunch of crazy people have entered an unregulated market. The consequences can be One can imagine that there is news that Delong’s former department is involved in Bitcoin: Chinese local tyrants are the biggest speculators.

  • In the fifth category, hackers

The representative of them is the website http://souku.pw/. At the beginning of November, this website began to sell personal information by the number of pieces. Basically, you can enter your commonly used id, and you can immediately search for your ID card and even your Alipay account information. This website is It uses Bitcoin to pay, but the website owner may be scared and shut down after two days of opening. Word of mouth is unfounded. For details, please see: How did the data on the "Social Work Library" website come from? http://www.v2ex.com/t/88317 90% of Bitcoin traders in China are hackers. Lots of dry goods inside.

  • The sixth category, Bitcoin long-term investors

As represented by Li Xiaolai and Shenyu, they are bullish for a long time and do not trade much. They entered the market very early and basically made a fortune.

  • In the seventh category, Bitcoin short-term speculators

The performance is to buy and sell on major trading websites every day. I have communicated with these people for a while, but I still can't understand why some people choose such a risky market. Bitcoin has many things related to black, and these black things often cannot be completely eliminated because of the inherent darkness of human nature, so Bitcoin will exist for a long time. For example, dealers will rely on this long-term profit. Their trick is nothing more than raising the price of the currency and shorting with high leverage. When the bitcoin rises, they make money and they make money when they fall. When they fall, they collect chips for another round. (Manipulating the stock price in A-shares will get you caught, but here it is like a duck to water), and the long-term skyrocketing and falling will attract the attention of various media, so more people will enter the market.
