BBT East
400A Power Upgrade / Testing Station
This project consisted of bringing an additional 400AMP of continuous single-phase service to BBT East, BitsBeTrippin HQ. Our facility is a steel construction 80x40ft 3200sqft building hosting our front office, studio, work center for GPU/ASIC Repair and over 2000 sq/ft dedicated for indoor storage. Our work center required additional amperage for volume testing of ASIC miners along with bringing in enough electricity to support both a 50AMP travel trailer and a 12kw EV Charger from Ubiquiti. The site supports a total of 16 continuous ASIC miners at 240v operating at up to 20AMPs each, while charging an EV at 12KW and a Travel Trailer at 50AMP.
Total Planned Project Cost Estimation $20,000
