Hello,
I am learning design slowly..While i am learning i run into some questions which maybe simple for some of you guys..I need that experience to help me learn better .
So while you do the residential calculations per code and come up with the feeder sizes for individual and multifamily units.Now once you size the service you make the decision on meter banks.How many i need and how many meter stacks per section and width and so on...But what i have heard is i have to make sure that the load is balanced on all three phases..While i do know what the balancing is in general..But how do i make sure that the load is balanced in each section of the meter bank whether to use 3 stacks or 4 stacks per section?
As an example lets say you have 65 units and each individual unit load comes out to be 112A. How do you decide on how many meter banks once you size the service?And how to do the proper balancing?
Thanks,
