Contractors' Dream Shop: 800-Amp 3-Phase Power

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
We’re back with our friends at Emergent Construction (https://www.emergent-group.com/), this time upgrading their service from 200-amp single-phase to 800-amp 3-phase! It was a very full day for us, which will lead to many full days for them, as their machining tools can now run at full-bore. Here’s what it takes to juice a commercial builders shop.

Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.

EPro-To-Call:
You’ve got the tools and the willingness to solve your own electrical problem, but are held up by a couple ominous details. Rather than hiring out the whole project, get EPro’s own Joel Walsman on a video or voice call here: https://electric-pro-academy.square.site/

Products We’d Recommend:
*EPRO endorses pro-level tools & materials, and receives a small commission for purchases through our links from Amazon & other affiliate programs. We’d be happy to recommend more cost-effective products for DIYers and low-frequency users if you engage with us in the comment section!
