Electric Output

STRONGTAN · 01-12-2006, 09:15 PM

Hey all,

New to the biz, and am currently in deliberations with landlord as to some requirments for my salon. I am in negotians for an 1100 sq ft. space and am curious about a couple of things (especially electricity, never was too good with that sh$%)! The lessor (i think you call him) has agreed to upgrade my unit for me but I dont really know how much electrity I require? Our salon carries 4 wolff 32 lamp units (100 watts). Also there are 2 Pure tan quantum stand up beds (51 bulb units)! Ummmm.... the guy also said that AC is 5 ton (its in a strip mall tho so im a little confused...wouldnt their be some type of main AC unit? (i guess i should probly ask him that one LOL). What should I request that he install in place (keep in mind I would potentially upgrade the beds in the future ...... and there is still room for a couple more too.)?????? Anyways i know yur all busy but any help that you might have regarding the aformentioned questions would really help!! thanx

With 600 amps you can never complain. Based on your equipment you probably only need 400amps. You likely will need 10ton of ac for 1100 sq ft

What are those?

Your A/C will somewhat depend on where you are located. A good rule of thumb is to have 1 ton per room plus 2 to 3 tons for lobby. 400 amps would seem to be the minimum you want. I'll agree with tansource and say 600 amps is better.

sorry sunsource beds, dont know why i said wolff (just the lamps)

STRONGTAN · 01-13-2006, 08:21 PM

Any idea the cost of something like that?

I think the guy said there 200 amps right now 3 phase.

Will i need a seperate box or could i use some kind of a booster package?

STRONGTAN · 01-13-2006, 08:22 PM

Forgot one ?

You said i will need about 10 tons does that mean i'll need to purchase another unit instead of using the ac the mall provides?

They'll have to run addition wire to a new circuit breaker panel. Typically a circuit breaker panel is set up for 200 amps. each. Keep in mind, 400 amps (two, 200 amp panels) will be a minimum you would want.

400 amp 3 phase or 2- 200 amp 3 phase is all you need for the square footage you have. May sure the electricians balance your loads, if you go with the 2- 200 amp panels. You will need an additional 5 tons of air + what is already there. Try to get the landlord to pay for that, because you can't take it with you if or when you grow out of that space.

Need a seperate 200 amp panel or upgrade the existing 200 to a 400. No you can't boost amps only volts.
