electrical service entrance 200 apms

You don't run 170 amps of 240v nearly 1/2 a mile. You would be talking extremely large conductors and multiple conductors per phase to limit voltage drop.

You need a different solution. A new service close to the location, a step-up and step down transformer solution, diesel power generator, diesel mechanical power in place of the electric motor, etc.

thank you for you quick reply you are right just got a quote just for the wire 28,000 $ plus transformers step up and step down and the excavator the cost would be prohibitive

thank you

Oso954 is correct with his comment. Your local service supplier will gladly give you a price for a new drop and meter, but will need to take care of the service panel first for them to connect to.

This is not even remotely a DIY job. Please call someone who knows what they are doing to do this job correctly and safely.

You have a 28HP single-phase motor? I didn't know they existed? What's it running?

sory its 2 x10 hp 1 x8 hp draws 94 amps my 2 gen are 100 amps each my tractors at 2200 rpm 4500$ of fuel for 21 days the 2 generators are 30 kv i found out today going arial would cost min 110,000$ here the electricity is .0778 kwh 28 hp roughly 28 kwh 2.17 hour electricity would cost 790+ taxes =927$ fuel here is 5,31 a gallon cost 10,62 compared to electricity over 21 days you are right those 2 tractors 78,000 each the generators 5,000 each i think going with utilities pay for it self in a couople years sell the tractors keep one gen we have a 45 hp john deer could run the ge in a jam thank you all for your input much apreciated

The only way to effectively do this is to bring the primary (high voltage) service MUCH closer to the point of use. Even step up/step down setup is much more expensive and over complicated.

Why so far? Is this like a several hundred acre facility? Is that whole distance your property?

speedy petey thank you for your help i will be contacting you in the days ahead i put you in my contact
