Wiring Trailers

[Alwayslearningelec]

So I have 4 workers trailers that need to be wired. The have 60A MCB panel.
WOuld you bring a seprate 60A feed to each one or run out larger feed and splice down? But then if your circuit breaker or switch trips then all the trailers go down. Thanks.

How long are the runs to each trailer and what is the power source a switchboard, distribution board, panel?

Going to site survey available power sources. Distance is about 100” from electrical rooms.

It looks like your maybe an estimator determining the cost for a qualified electrician, like infinity mentioned figure the voltage drop easily found on some reputable electrical calculator website. Then with that you can apply the voltage drop number, to the anticipated load determined; example anticipated load of each trailer ..AC ..coffee machine .. computers .. radio chargers .. lets say roughly 30A 240. that will help you decide if the existing 60A 240 Breaker ..14400w will work for all 4.

Thanks. But my question also was would you feed multiple trailers from ONE OCPD?

Where are the feeders originating, a panel or a switchboard? Are there slots available to install 4-60 amp OCPD's?

If the 1 over current protective device ... was 1 - 60A breaker then probably not .. hence my original response of

( decide if the existing 60A 240 Breaker ..14400w will work for all 4.)
