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 :p
a new saga commences
anybody own a ditch witch they dont want for a weekend ? :D:D:D
Good to see that stage is over :D
Where's the transformer?
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...
Then i guess you have an overhead supply along those poles you put in, then mains fuse box on the last pole then underground to the shack?
the ironbark in the foreground is my property pole.Quote:

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?
