I am in the process for building a new facility and working on planning the electrical build out. I presently have 400 amps of high leg (delta) and 200 amps of 240 single phase. We have a fairly typical transformer on the pole, gutter and 3 disconnects on the back of the building and 1 single phase panel and 2 3 phase panels. Other than one lightning strike that took out a breaker we have not had any electrical issues in ten years.
I just back the first quote and is looks like he is way over engineering everything. He took the max load ratings from every thing in the shop, added them up and then added about 40% to it, which is overkill on the buildout and my wallet. I am looking for a clamp on amp meter that will record the daily highs and average to get a better idea on what is going on. Any good ideas?
