I have a total connected load of 140 amps at 240 volt single phase. this gives me a load of 34 kva. the source is 400 feet away from proposed panel, however city manager told GC to go as cheap as possible so AC contractor submits bid with single phase equipment. source voltage is 480/277 3 phase. im coming up with a design that seems more cost effective to install single phase 45 kva 480/240 volt txfmr with #2 feeders than 400 feet of 4/0 feeders. what would you guys do?
