Building a 120v Meter Box Requested by HashRaptor...

- This is how I make my 120v meter boxes, pretty simple and take about a hour start to finish. I hope you all enjoy and if there is any question fell free to ask. Also I guess the GFCI out is bad and now wont reset, I have a new non GFCI on the way.

I have been hunting for this kind of setup on and off for two weeks. Thank you so much for posting this video. Red Panda's channel pointed me here.
Gotta love scouring the internet for videos from years ago. :) helped me wire up a 120v drok meter that wasnt showing watts, had it on the pigtail hot wire instead of the hot wire coming from powercord. Issue resolved by watching closely. Thanks. ❤
Really appreciate this man. Trying to decide if I should replace the outlets with these or just make plugs.
thats a galaxy brain idea tbh wtf i never thought of doing that when i saw these
I'm so dang happy there are finally goats in space!
PRO TIP: Instead of knotting the wire to keep it from pulling out, use a large Zip Tie around the wire. Pull it as tight as you can. The locking end of the zip tie will prevent the wire from being pulled out assuming you drilled a hole just a hair larger than the power cable.
For anyone else wondering about the GFCI issue SG was having, I think he just needed to press the RESET button down a lot harder than he was. Those things take a lot of force to reset them. The TEST button on the other hand is very easy to press.
That was not the problem. You need to wire to the 'LINE' side of the GFCI and not the 'LOAD' side.
Thank you for everything. Learning from everyone slowly, but surely.
I am in the US East Coast.
You are so welcome!
Usa!!! Glad to be here!! Good luck everyone!!
Keep on keeping on Panda! Good to see you spreading the Mega hash love to the Space goats!!
Thanks! Will do!
Let's put the meter in action!!
One box is working
EU----Hello Red panda i was inspired by you to start mining!I started mining eth 12 days ago and im very happy that i found this community :)
You the man! Awesome community. Hope for some risers!
Nice work on this meter box! Simple an effective.
great walkthrough. I will back a couple of these into my current rig build!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for this.
Thank you for taking the time to build and explain your power meter boxes @SpaceGoats.
Have you found any inconsistent data in properly reading the power? I ask as I would like to build a couple units and the Amazon reviews a few saw the power readings were off.
Thank You!
I have seen some of the reviews but these meter are not certified, they are China made so the numbers can be a bit off. I used mine with a killawatt meter and they are really close. But for a fast reference meter they are great
I think the line wires go in the top side of the GFCI.. just made the similar mistake.
Hey SG! Awesome video! Quick question - do you know if there is a maximum length for the wires going from the CT to the meter and, if so, what is it? In other words, if I wanted to mount the actual meter face, say, 5-15 feet from the CT, would that still work and be accurate?
Man I don't know it the length of the wires with the meter is calibrated or not. Im sure you can try it and compare it with another meter short and long wires.
Space Goats!!!!! Coast to Coast!!! Nice bud! what is up! Also, can that Drok Meter handle 240 volt? very interested, but haven't built out my 240v lines yet, only on 120v like normal NA users. Take care
Yes, I have a 2nd video that show the 240v
@@spacegoats2194 I will need one hmmm thanks
@@spacegoats2194 where is the link for the video that shows how to wire the box to 240V?
Hi spacegoats from Indonesia
sent by red. looking forward to watch the rest of your videos
Cool. I have always wondered how those boxes were made. Also First.
lol, would have been better if the outlet would have reset. Stupid outlet is bad. But hey I did not edited it out.
@@spacegoats2194 It looked like you wired to the load side of the gfci from what little can be discerned around the 7:00 mark.
@SpaceGoats can you please briefly explain the differences in the two Drok meters you listed in the video description? I tried to compare the two Amazon sites and all I see is that the newer displays some additional information. From your experience do you recommend one over the other? Thanks.
The old style has voltage, wattage, amps and kwh readings on the meter, the new style include HZ and power factor
Heyy! from Red Panda Mining live stream :) USA
Where can I buy one like red panda and chump change are using? Did you make those for them? How much?
You’re looking at $70 for everything unless you have access to a 3D printer.
LET'S GET THOSE GP RISERS!!! USA USA USA!!!!
Was wondering if you can use these for asic miners?
super cool!
Thank you spacegoats!
Any time!
Congrats on all the success, and to many many more. USAAA
Thanks so much!
How many watts can this take?
You're my hero! Canada
LET'S GET THOSE GPU RISERS!
Hey Man wicked intro
What size hole saw is needed for the outlet? awesome video!
I dont remember the size but now I just 3d print the lids for my boxes
@@spacegoats2194 thanks .. don't have 3d printer yet. Can you see what size whole you designed in your 3d plan?
oh yeah

Greetings, some of you have had overheating problems with the msi armor
hello nice video
Thanks
Hola yo quiero minar con el S17
thought i read somewhere thats its a bad idea to tie wiring in a knot
I did that in just the one box, but now I only use gland fittings on all the other boxes....
Hello you sell this box complete meter, outlets...?
can I hitch hike to the moon with the space goats
Sir is the box the 4x4x4inch deep? or the 4x4x2ich deep one?
You can use the 4" deep one but I use the 2" one.
Cool, thanks for the video.
No problem!
Rip
Good info Good Stuff!
Glad you think so!
Keep up the great work! Just wanted to swing by and show some of that crypto mining love - USA
Much appreciated!
I am not from us but any way
