I feel like I'm in that movie "Christmas Vacation." I was thrown a project that is huge and already started. I would love some comments about the direction it's heading.

--64 light strands (700 watt 120vac incandecent)
--600 amp feeder with 16 x 30 amp breakers allocated for above strands.
--4 strands per breaker
--each strand controlled on/off with 10 amp omron micro relay with a 2 times a second switching rate.
--relays controlled by plc in predetermined pattern.

My biggest concern right now...is the switching speed and the inrush from the lamps as they are switched.

Any comments would be appreciated,

Thanks,
Carl
