Trying to size a service for a chiropactors office and not sure on the demand for an X-Ray machine. The X-Ray Tech say's he needs an 100 Amp 220V circuit. Here's what I have existing: 100 Amp 3 Phase Service w/ 1 Alum Conductors
So do I figure the X-Ray machine at 100% demand?
And my load calcs would be: 12 receptacles @ 180VA = 2160 640sq.ft. @ 3 VA = 1920 Heat @ 10,000 VA Sign Ckt. @ 1200 VA X-Ray Machine @ 24,000VA Total 39,280 VA
39,280VA / 240V = 163.66 Amps / 1.73 = 94.60 Amps
Correct? The 100 Amp service should be suffecient?
Thanks !!!

if your using 240 x 1.73 it must be a high leg delta?? IF ITS A 120/208 Y (most common) it be 208 x 1.73 =359.84 Just checking.

Yoop, Wrong answer.
If 208 volts you DIVIDE it by 1.73 Not MULTIPLY it.
39,280VA / 208V / 1.73 = 109.15 Amps
