Hi I am new here.this is my first post.
I want some information regarding mobile home feeding. We are doing project to feed 150 mobile home sites.Each mobile home should be feed with 50A, 2pole breaker. Currently utility has single phase supply on site but customer is agree to upgarde 3 phase supply. the basic plan is to feed 3 phase supply from utility to HIgh voltage distribution switch and after this HV switch to loop feed to single phase transformers and these transformers will feed to 200A panel board.Here basic idea is take 3 phase power to HV Switch and at output of this switch this 3 phase will use to feed single phase transformer.Is that possible? Please give any suggestion.Any help will be appreciated. My questions are. (1)how much loading we can put on 167 KVA 4.8kV/240V transformer. (2)How we can apply demand factor according to Ontario code book. (3)how much mobile home sites i can feed using 1-200A,240V panel board. (4)Which type of HV switch i can use. |

Pretty sure the min will be 100 amp services they never had 50 amp services for mobile home pads even 50 years ago they were at least 60 amps. It would more than likely need an engineers stamp anyhow.

To the OP: NO.
The authorities will expect that each pad receive 100A @ 240VAC -- center-tapped to ground. Give this task to an Electrical Engineer. He can crank out in minutes what an Electrician would have to really think about... 'cause he's got previous examples in his library. What you're replicating is the standard underground residential distribution seen all over America -- but limited to 100A. So, it's a cookie-cutter job for an EE... but not for ECs. We'd actually have to think about it. ECs usually work off of EE plans at this scale. You're almost getting to the point of designing a sub-division of homes. |

You're describing an RV pad .
At least as far as American standards. Up north, I can't imagine a Service so tiny. |

This is mobile home.
I know there is huge difference between mobile home and recreation vehicle. All rules and demand factors are different for both. Is there any rule or code that's say about minimum service need for Mobile home? |
