Extensive beach cleanup project on an island off the coast of Seattle. Contractor needs to bring large processing equipment, but can't (for reasons I don't know) give us the equipment specs (not even an estimate of the load). Utility (Puget Sound Energy) says the max transformer they can install is 750 KVA (900 FLA). I am told that they insist on switchgear configuration for a main service panel over 800 amps. I have not been able to confirm or refute that information. But it sounds absurd to me.
