Hello,
We have been super slow recently, so when I got our last utility bill, I was shocked to see the bill. With no machines being turned on, the bill was still huge so I turned off everything in the shop and clamped an amp meter to the main line coming to the shop and was surprised that we are loosing 8.5 amps @480v. We have two transformers ( 35kva & 45kva ) supplying the shop but one also supplies the 120v single phase to the wall outlets. Ill be shutting down one transformer but how do I go about shutting both without loosing the 120v outlets? The current coming in is at 480 and all the machines are wired for 240 or 208.
