The calculated load is only about 85 KVA (205 amps @ 120/240 3-phase Delta).
The plans, however were drawn by a PE and showed a 400-amp service with 600 kcmil copper.
I have decide to parallel conductors instead and the Camden, NJ plan reviewer wants new drawings to reflect the new installation.
The local cost for 600 kcmil is about $9.50 / ft.
3/0 is $3.30 /ft. ($6.60 for 2)
At about 100' per leg, the savings is around $1,200.00.
Thoughts?
