and another milestone



doesnt look much but there has been some hard yakka go into getting these two poles in place

the original quote for ergon toput power on, $15,500

the eventual cost after a few backbreaking weekends clearing a 170mitre long x 10 mitre wide frontage, a couple of cartons and $200 for fuel.. and some badly acheing bones :P

glad that part is over

a new saga commences

anybody own a ditch witch they dont want for a weekend ?

next post along...

top wires (not there yet, this week i imagine) are the main and the bottom are the return from the transformer to us..

two of us sharing a 25kva i believe..

will take two weeks to get the street wiring in the way they have been going thus far...

175metres of underground is a fairly long way, huge voltage drop. What sort of amps will you be requiring, i'll do the voltage drop calc for you for cable selection. how many phases?
