Hey guys, old customer of mine is adding more computer build space in his warehouse ( He is in the IT business). I need to add a panel and transformer 480 delta 120/208Y, and a panel. Approximate calculated load at this time is about 220 Amps total. (6 build benches at about 30 amp each... this would be 2 20 Amp circuits per bench plus lighting load, and a 40 Amp feed to another modular office for the shipping manager)
Anyway, We have onsite a 150kVA transformer which is not in use. If the primary has an OCP of 100Amp, and the panel has OCP of 200 Amp, does anyone see an issue with using it? I know it is way overkill, but is already owned by the customer, and there is a 100 Amp disconnect in the main gear with feeders heading that are not in use heading very close to where all of this is going. There is also a 45 kVA onsite likewise, it is not in use, just sitting on a pallet looking for a something to do. I am thinking the 45 is a little light .
Any thoughts????
