Hello.
We are in the planning stages of running electricity to our new machine shop. I'm trying to estimate our costs and maybe start getting some of the panels & breakers ordered. I'm getting mixed information in my internet searches in regard to Delta with Neutral Center tap vs Wye. It seems that most people are saying that a 4 Wire Delta system is not very common and 4 wire Wye is standard. This seems strange to me since you can't get an effective 240V single phase feed off of a Wye.
Am I wrong here? Will the power company default to one or the other? We are out in the boonies on moderately sized power co-op. Does each service require a different transformer on the pole?
Also, is it better to have all single and 3 phase loads coming out of the same load center, or is it best to split off a single phase sub panel?
Any one brand preferred by you guys in the know? I don't want to go with a siemens if square D would be better.
I'm thinking something like a QO342MQ225RB would be ideal?
Thanks for your help in advance!
