My customer wants a service say 600 feet long. I figured if he's drawing 26 amps I should use 1/0 al for approx 3% lose or for 52 amps I should use 4/0 al for approx 3% lose. The house is on a genset now and they are very conservative with there usage. Of course when you have silent electricity you tend to use more.
What should I use for amps in my vd calcs ?
(genset is 6.5k 120 volts, not 240v )
(house will be rewired for 240v)
Say I figure 26 amps (off the cuff) so I use 1/0, then how do I figure how much extra it will cost him to add more load?
sorry I couldn't word this better and thanks!!
