10 Tons = 50 per leg
60 lamp VHR = 40 per leg
60 lamp VHR = 40 per leg
60 lamp VHR = 40 per leg
60 lamp VHR = 40 per leg
BIG VHR = 45 per leg
BIG VHR = 45 per leg
BIG VHR = 45 per leg
BIG VHR = 45 per leg

That would require a 400amp service.
I even went low on all the numbers.
No way you could run all that on a 200!

Yeah what the **** is going on here? You got some solar power going on?

You could have 50 beds on your 200 amp panel as long as only 4/5 (VHR's) are fired up at the same time. If you exceed 200 amps on any leg) your breaker should trip. Its function is to protect your service entry wire.

I've already seen the fan attachment at work. A salon we liquidated in New York had the panel cover off and a pedestal fan aimed directly on it. This was what every fire inspector dreams about!!! Keep in mind the panel was in the hall right next to the only bathroom in the salon. Very intelligent manuever!.

I have recently installed an omega and was told it required 80amp 3 phase but when my electrican showed up to wire it he pointed out a spec plate rivited on the unit with date of manuf and model number and elect requirements it indicates 60 amp 3 phase. since it was installed in a 208v-3phase comerical building it also required 2, 2.0 buck boosters, the total instalation including the ventalition system was very expensive. but on the plus side, we have had to set up an appointment sch because it has been used almost non stop so far so good!

If you were to set it up 60 amp 3 phase with #6 wire it would have tripped the breaker. If you don't believe me have your electrician check for amp draw and you will see that the running amperage would be about 67-69 amps . If you ever need parts for this old timer I have a ton of them. Future Industries in typical fashion has essentially no parts for this or any other bed they sell.

I am getting a different electrician to look at it. What all is needed to be done for ventilation? I have the bed sitting on the back of one of our company's trucks and it has been a lot more work getting this bed installed than I thought it would be.

Royalsun is correct. I had a number of Omega's over the years and they need #4 wire with a 80A breaker. If you need any parts start looking now. I had a customer recently who could not get the parts he needed from Future so we had to source them elsewhere.

You have (3) 12" stacks, get yourself some flex or pipe and vent it above your drop ceiling. If you don't ,prepare for a room that goes nuclear and a bed full of broken filter glass, etc.
