Hi! Please check my plan below. What do you think?
I have a 240V 300KVA 3PH in a main panel that I need to step down to 208V 3PH 114A. to run a piece of equipment. I'll be using two buck boost transformers. and a cutoff switch
Breaker Sizing in the Main Panel - Since I'll need 114A, should I consider 20% higher rating which puts me at around a 130A Breaker in the MP?
What is the Wire Size I need to run from the 130A Breaker to the buck boost Transformers? Since the equipment is using 114A is this #2 wire (130A @90C) ]
So - (3) #2 wires and (1) #6 Gnd in 1 1/4in Conduit for a 90ft run
Should the cut off switch be placed after the Buck Boost Transformers?
Should the Fuses in the cut off switch should be 120A ? Or sized similarly to the 130A breaker in the MP ?
What is the Wire Size I need to run from the buck boost transformers to the cut off switch and to the equipment? Same #2 Wire? (3) #2 wires and (1) #6 Gnd in 1 1/4in Conduit for a 15ft run to the cut off switch and a 10ft run from the cut off switch to the equipment ( I understand the requirement is to be less than 25ft total run from buck boost transformers to the equipment)
Thanks
