Hello, my next project is kind of BIG but don't understand so much in the electricity ,So I have 80 x 600W
80 x HPS 600W + 80 x MST 600W Integrated HID system with ballast, ignitor and compensation capacitor, for sodium and metal halide lamps. I done whit all other things vegetative room ,soil,seeds,fertilizers,nutritions and many,many,more things and here is the big problem. How to setup 80 lamps x 600w+20 x fans(to circulate air in the greenhouse )+6 x fans for air IN+6 x Fans airs OUT.
I will give you example:
600W( eachs)x80 (blubs) (48000W or 48kW)
20xFans (like mine) x 40W (each) x 20 (800W or 0.8kW) circulate air
8xFans (air OUT) x 90W (each) (720W or 0.72 kW)
8xFans (air IN) x 90W (each) (720W or 0.72kW)
When you calculate it you get 50.24kw but (for 1 hour ?)
approximately the consummation will rise like 51kw/55kw for 1 hour ?
So how to setup them right ,what fuses (Amperes ? )and cables ( mm2? ) ?
I know to connect (setup) 5/10 lamps (small grow rooms) but here is not the same and the consummation of electricity too ?

Greetings!

First, you MUST make sure that your wiring can handle that type of load. That's all I can contribute, but please don't make the nearest panel explode = authorities on site.

Your first step imo is you need to get in touch with an electrician you trust and tell him to wire it all up, he may tell you ( and for something like that will tell you) to run 220/240 volt, and that you will probably have to upgrade your electric service from the pole, 220 isn't like 110 volts, it doesn't bite you. ...it kills you, best left to the pro's, if you have the cash for a project like that, you can afford an electrician that can keep his mouth shut lol
