Does the network interruption during the mining process affect the income?

Antminers are one of the prominent miners that many miners choose to mine. Although Bitcoin has entered a downturn, the drop in the price of ants has also significantly reduced the price of Antminers last year, such as the Antminer S9. Prices have fallen by nearly 90% from their peak last year. Many miners also took the opportunity to buy low-priced used Antminers to lay out mining. Many of them are novice miners who are new to mining. They have little knowledge about the operation of miners such as Antminers. Let’s talk about some mining issues that new miners are more concerned about; if the miners are powered off or disconnected from the network, can they still mine?

Antminer power outage

Antminers do not need to power off if there is no need. They can power off twice a day if they have to power off. In addition, when the ambient humidity is high, try not to turn off the miners, which will easily cause the miners to get wet and short-circuit damage.

Another important reason is that Antminers are often powered off, which will cause the hash board not to work correctly, so be careful to shut down.

Antminer disconnected

Suppose the Antminer is disconnected from the network during mining work. In that case, it will cause the miner to shut down for protection automatically, and some miners will run at full power due to the normal connection of the local area network. Therefore, when the disconnection time exceeds 15 minutes or after the disconnection, you need to power off your miners.

If the voltage and network are unstable, what impact will it have on miners?

1. Voltage instability

When the output power of the power supply is above 1000W, the voltage should preferably be between 210 and 230. The unstable voltage will easily cause insufficient power output, resulting in a low hash rate of Antminers or burning out the power supply and miners. Hence, the power supply's input voltage needs to be stable.

2. The network is unstable

Network instability will affect miners' connection to mining pools to submit hash rates, which can easily lead to loss of revenue. In severe cases, the consequences of disconnection are the same.

About the method of miner leakage detection

Some miners are not properly grounded, causing the shell to be electrified, and it is easy to damage the control board and the hash board when the miners operate with electricity. There is no problem if the measurement voltage is below 0.3V, and if it is 1V, it is fine, but it will easily damage the miner if it is higher. Therefore, a professional electrician is recommended to plan a specific grounding method.

The detection method is as follows:

1. Set the gear of the multimeter to the AC 220V gear. When the miner is running, touch the multimeter test lead to the miner's shell and the exposed metal part of the shelf respectively to check whether there is voltage. If there is voltage, the grounding is not done correctly and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible; if there is no voltage, it indicates that the grounding is normal and there is no leakage. (This method requires that the miner's shell is not in contact with the shelf metal)

2. Set the gear of the multimeter to the AC 220V gear. When the miner is running mining, touch the test lead of the multimeter to the metal cover of the miner's network port and the miner's shell to check whether there is voltage. If there is voltage, the grounding is not done correctly. Deal with it as soon as possible; if there is no voltage, the grounding is normal and there is no leakage. (This method requires that the metal cover of the miner's mesh port is not in contact with the miner's control board)

Suppose miners do not understand miner maintenance very well. In that case, it is recommended that this type of miner choose a reliable large-scale mining farm with flawless operation and maintenance for mining.
