[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 388172, member: 483"] Sorry I've been kind of vacant on this thread, been on vacation but am back now. All the figures the engineer at the power company was running were based on max load 100% of the time at all feeder locations coming from that transformer. That is 4 total meters. (The 3 on my building and one on a small single bed apartment next to my building.) Of the 4, only 2 are currently in use, mine being the highest usage. After talking further with the engineer about how little power is actually being used he seems EXTREMELY confident that I could basically do whatever I wanted with the existing power without negatively affecting anyone. So the plan to upgrade transformers, etc is out for now so long as half of the meters continue being out of service. (Which they will be, haven't been in service for years.) I need to head over there and pay some more attention to the wire sizing feeding the fuse boxes after the meters. I have many options now that I have the go ahead to do what I want. I can either pull more amperage from my current service or activate one of the other meters and pull new service from it. But one thing I am researching now is how to size the wire that will be feeding my welder circuit from the main. Can anyone help here? And thanks for the input everyone. [/QUOTE]
