Individual switches or grouped control (e.g., 1-to-5)?

Short answer
Standard configuration uses high-density smart PDUs with grouped control, while every mining unit keeps independent protection through its own dedicated miniature circuit breaker (MCB) — so you get grouped switching convenience without losing per-unit fault isolation.
- High-density smart PDUs, grouped control
- Independent MCB protection per unit
- Grouped switching, isolated faults
- High-density electrical design
Grouped control vs per-unit protection
| Level | What it controls | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Grouped control (smart PDU) | Switches units as a group — e.g. a 1-to-5 arrangement. | Fast, coordinated power sequencing across a bay. |
| Per-unit protection (MCB) | Each mining unit has its own dedicated miniature circuit breaker. | A fault on one unit trips only that unit's breaker. |
Inside the distribution design
- Continuous high-amperage rating. PDUs are engineered for dense computing loads without derating.
- Breaker protection throughout. Circuit-level protection is standard, not an add-on.
- Tied into the PLC. Power and thermal management respond together.
