I currently have 240/120v 1 phase 200A panel. The rural farm is getting a horse treadmill with a chiller plus 2 heaters.
The heaters are 240v 1Φ 10A each.
Treadmill is 480/277Y 3Φ max operating 36A. Max starting 62A.
Chiller is 480/277Y 3Φ 13.2A
I’m planning setting up like this:
200A or upgrade to 225A main service > 240v 3Φ 40HP digital phase converter with 97% efficiency > 3Φ 240D to 480/277Y 75kva transformer > subpanel> loads.
I’m assuming the transformer is also 97% power loss efficiency.
During winter the heaters will work.
Looking if chillers will only work during summer.
Do you think 200A will handle this or will I need to upgrade to 225A?
It may be close to the panel. Unsure yet. If it is, what’s the best way to ground/bond transformer?
