I've got a printing press in an outbuilding. The outbuilding has no power currently, and is est'd 150 yards from power—it's equidistant from the house and the power box. No new poles would need to be put in.
I'm trying to be as cheap as possible until I could get the press running and eventually get it printing jobs that pay, but in the meantime I just want to get it running so I can practice on it. The press will need to be hooked up by an electrician--it needs wiring hooked up directly to it. The press is a huge one and I think it uses something more than 110v (I'm not sure if that means its 220v?)
My question is whether it would be less expensive in short term to have an electrician buy and hook up a gas generator, or whether it's better to wire to the grid. And legal/building code concerns (in general)
Thanks, W
