I have a situation where some work trailers are being place near an Army Corp. dam spillway for some work a company is doing on the spillway. There is a 480v 60amp 4-wire receptacle available to feed power to the trailers. The company thats doing the work is familiar with this situation and does this type of work in a variety of locations.
They have provided a 30kva 3-phase transformer and a 480v disconnect, and want us to hook up the trailers. They've also provided SO drop cords to feed the transformer from the receptacle (4-conductor, #6) as well as feed each of the work trailers from the transformer.
They want us to hook up the system to power up the trailers. We want to add in a 3R panel on the load side of the transformer, using that spot to re-establish the service (bonding the neutral, and adding two ground rods), and then having 3 60amp breakers that feed the drop cords to each trailer.
Each trailer has a sub-panel with a 60 amp main.
My question is whether there are any major ramifications of feeding a single phase panel from this 3-phase panel (other than having 208v L1-L2)?
Otherwise any other comments are appreciated.
Thanks,
Sky
