Greetings,
I'm working on a expansion for a brownfield site. The client has a Switchboard which they feed all of their welding receptacles and HVAC equipment out of. They are out of space in the Switchboard and the only panelboard @ 480V that they have remaining is a lighting panelboard. I'm a little concerned that if I put a 30A-480V welding receptacle on the lighting panelboard, it could cause flickering on lighting through the facility when utilizing the welding outlet. The lighting panelboard is a 225A panelboard and the welding receptacle is about 300' away from the panelboard. I'm hoping the longer line length will eliminate some of the higher order harmonics from the remainder of the panelboard. Has anyone had experience with a similar installation and notice significant flicker? Lights in the building are 250W Metal Halide Lights.
Appreciate the help.
