Im trying to decide the best way to do this.
I have a 320a service meter main with 2-200a breakers that REA mounted on a pole.
There will be 4 green houses, for growing flowers, not weed.
The closest one is 50' from the pole/meter main
My idea is to mount 2-200 outdoor breaker panels on the closest green house, that will feed sub-panels (100a) breaker panels inside, or outside each greenhouse. If I mount the 100a inside I would need a disconnect on the outside if the panel does not have a main breaker in it right?
The customer wants 3 greenhouses to be feed out of 1 of the 200a panels and just one green house to be feed out of the other 200a panel to provide for future expansion
Would it be better to eliminate the 2-200a breakers and try to find a 320a breaker to eliminate the 2-200a sub panels. Then having a 320a distribution panel on the first green house.
Would you do anything different? I'm trying to make this cost effective and clean.
