Getting power to the new shop

He is coming out tomorrow to go back through all the numbers to make sure that we are on the same page with pge. From where the power hits the Weatherhead on my roof to the closer pole would be probably 125/150 feet. But to the pole that has the nearest transformer probably closer to 150/175 feet. Which is the one they said they would feed from.

Why I asked about the exsting service wire to your house distance is that it might factor in whether you can upgrade your single house panel to 201-400 amps. And sub panel feed whatever.

200A might be max possible upgrade to your existing house panel because of the length of your service wire distance. Something to ask the PGE person.

Notice in that pg 7-20 table 7-2 in that ESR link the requires 4" diameter mast for 201-400A vs 3" for 200A and smaller panels.


Hope I'm not throwing too much at you making it even tougher to make a decision.
