The Electrician just finished up and left after he installed a 30 slot box with 5 slots still open, finally got my 220 30 amp line hocked up to the PDU with monitoring , it's awesome .
I had a 220 30 amp put in a while back but didn't feel safe with it, so it never got used, i was using a few 120 20 amp lines, because of the mess the main box was in, now I feel a lot safer .
, will use it.
Nice the S5's run better.

yeah i love my 200 amp box as well, cost me around $1500 though
You got a 'deal' where I'm at Xcel (power company) reps and the Electrican and the State Inspector ...ALL have to be present PHYSICALLY at the same time after completion ...for the Power to be turned back on
Base price 200 amp service is 2500 bucks and it goes higher if it is more then 1 stick of conduit and elbow and panel ...goes up also by 'how complex' it is
Fun times. So I slip buy with my 100 amp 32 slot panel. (2 titans 2500w) I have no central AIR and use GAS for heat..so it has worked....although I've never been brave enough to turn the Elec Dryer and Stove on at the same time with the Miners on 24/7.
(squeaked by)
I have Execl too , but being the home owner i claimed i was doing all the work myself found an electrican on craigslist to do all the work for 1k with my supervision of course. Paid $500 for parts and $300 for the inspection permit.
so yeah with the permit it was actually $1800 . And i don't know why they told you that , on the pre-inspection the inspector was fine with us doing all the work over the weekend then coming to inspect it later during the week.
Guess I'm lucky I have 200 amps on main for house. And 100 amps just for my mining area extra to that.
Luckily I'm on a real life crop farm so they installed big power when building house which is nice at this point. As the 300 amp was there long before mining. So stupid luck. I did not realize how expensive it's worth dang I'm happy to have it.
er forgot to mention it probably was (inspector on hand etc) a 'city' ordinance ...univ town..thus landlords probably electrocuting self....but that was the rate ..(or I looked like a soft touch)
but yeah if i'd know what you did (duh) i prob would have done the same...as it was i squeaked by.....so its prob for the best
for those of you just needing a 32 port panel ..the charge for that complete was 500 bucks..guess that is more common ..thought they'd screw me on that but probably the 2500 bucks is the electrican's are taking in to account ..if we have to stand around all AM talking to the xcel guys till the electrical inspector shows up or not....this is wtf we are gonna charge for service install in this town
but if i do decide to do it someday I'll try your method ..but doubt it now so ..hell at least saved 1300 bucks compared to you (dumb and lucky always my 'idiot' back up plan)
