Looks great! I'm drooling!
What did you decide to do for the electrical? What's the service and
what kinds of circuits have you set up for that equipment?
I'm planning a new building for similar types of equipment and want to
be sure I don't under estimate power...
Thanks!
The building already had a 40A circuit coming in. I decided that wasn't
near enough, so I had the power coming into the property upgraded to
400A. 200A was already going to the house, so I split it at the intermediate
poll (where the meter is attached) to bring 200A to the shop. This was the
max I could do without going to a complete separate meter which would
require a whole lot more permits and $s from everyone involved. ;-)
I put in a 3.5/5T dual speed AC unit and had everything insulated. I'm running
a bunch of 30A circuits for the equipment (I don't know yet what the final
count will be...some will also be 220v to support the 2065 when I convert it
from 3-phase). I'm figuring I'll have plenty
of power...just won't be able to
turn everything on at once. ;-)
