3 phase metering (as in how much you pay the utility )is done different
than single phase, I would check with your utility, also check your
initial costs of 3 phase equipment - meter base and entrance panel. How
I understand the billing in our area is, 3 phase meter has a needle that
is moved to the max use and you are billed that amount whether the elec
is on or off. Just check, it may not be important but then again.

Putting together a new NOC. The new NOC is in an older warehouse and
we ripped out ALL the crazy wiring and the multiple electrical
panels. Total gut job. Installed a single phase electrical panel for
the retail and service area in the front but we have three phase
coming into the building. Electrician uncle Dude, 80+ years, tells me
that three phase protects against power surges since it adds another
transformer.
My question is, would installing a three phase panel for the NOC be a
proactive thing? Advantageous against the great lightning and idiotic
power company Godz? (GODZ Rock And Roll Machine)
Old location was all three phase and we never had one lick of
trouble Not one. Would this be the reason or would it be just a
stroke of luck, one that didn't involve the lottery.... Figures.
