If you don't know your way around electricity don't mine at home, you will end up torching it.
What does "know your way around electricity" mean? I understand a basic amount. I could wire up a 240 circuit, I understand (vaguely) the relationship between amps, watts, and volts, am I qualified?
Furthermore having to know your way around electricity as being a prereq for running a miner at home kinda proves my point, yeah?

You can run ASICS at home. 3kW per ASIC is a lot of power and can cook electrical cables. Dedicated circuit directly from main power panel with dedicated circuit breaker is the way to go. If you know how to torque and how to calculate the right cabling you should be fine.
If you plan to just plug the ASIC PSU in a home outlet. Then home mining is not for you.
