I'm looking at a renovation of a seldom used community room building located within a senior apartment complex into a two unit apartment building. All the 5 or so buildings plus this gutted out community building are fed from a master meter in another building.
The plan is for electric ranges, dwelling loads, a common hydronic boiler to have seperate zoning, etc. so the existing 100 amp #2 cu service will likely need to be increased. I'm just waiting on the list from the contractor on what is going in to calculate.
The panel is already centrally located and would go in the utility room with the boiler.
The service is currently run in 2" rigid under 2" concrete so the location and length of entrance cable to disconnect should be considered outside the building.
Can I simply calculate the loads and provide service to the two units from the one existing service panel with the main CB as the disconnect or do I need to put branch sub panels in the two units?
