Re: 3 - phase HV supply


GGLL
 

PA3DUV escribi:
Euro 175.- to get concerted from single phase service to 3 phase service in the Lowlands. For that money you'll get:
3 fuses
a new 3 phase digital power/kWh meter
3 x 35 amps @ 400 VAC ( 42 kW AC, gud for 25 kW RF output ) = the same
And nothing else working from the same line. :)

Best regards
Guillermo - LU8EYW.
monthly fee compared to single phase service.
Cheers, Dick

Sometimes, a 3-0 service has a monthly minimum charge that will blow
the hat clean off of one's head.
