I have a somewhat unusual industrial load question.
A client is wanting to install 100 Conex boxes (large shipping containers 10' X 40') with air conditioning for each box. The A/C units are 208 Single phase at 7.25 FLA. This give me a total continuous load of 725 Amps of load for just the A/C Units. There will be a monitoring system that is also a continuous load but this will require only 30 Amps (presumed 208 single phase). This give me a total of 755 Amps of continuous single phase loads. I am not counting the noncontinuous loads yet (approx 40 convenience receptacles per the AHJ)
I plan on brini8ng in a three phase, Y, service feeder. This brings me to my question - should I use the sq Root of 3 to determine the service size needed?
Thanks in advance
