Help with Relocating Service - 09/13/07 01:34 PM
Hello Everybody here at ECT, I am new here to the forum and would like to get some info from you knowledgable members.
I am in the process of Rennovating a 12 apartment unit with 6 units on ground level and 6 units on second floor. this is all one building with a fire wall after every second unit running from ground level to roof top. The back of the apartments have wooden steps goin to the second story to a wooden deck approx 6' wide that runs the full lenght of the rear complex. The service coming in is a over head triplex from power co. that is connected to three 4/0 SEU cables. Each one of these cables are supplying a single phase 4 gang meter bank with 100 Amp load centers below and there are three banks of these along the rear of the aprtment with all the raceways being externally fastened. The units are being converted into condos and the local AHJ is requiring that the meters be grouped into one assembly located on the side of the complex for better access. my question is could i get some help on sizing the service entrance and the grounding for the meter bank assembly that i will need to purchase? Each apartment will remain 100 amps 120/240 (all plumbing has been converted to pvc.) The service will remain over head and above the banked assembly. I understand that i will have to provide the interuping rate and what size main prior to ordering of the assembly. im sure i left some things out but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
