So my title says most of it but I'm setting up a brand new building. My space designated towards agriculture is a 20x40, and a 11x40. What is the ultimate electrical setup for a nice shop. Big question I know but I get to build this whole building around this would like to get it right. When I saw the thread show us your switchboards I realized I knew diddly.

Hire someone to do it and tell them how much juice you need and where the outlets go.

You can check out my thread and see what I am running in a similar set up I run 2 x 200 amp 120/240 volt 1 phase and 1 x 100 amp 120 /240 volt 1 phase sub panels, 1 x 250 amp 120 /208 3 phase and 1 277/480 volt 200 amp 3 phase panel...JACK

Ok it's working now....

You may want to divide the shop into a few smaller rooms, imagine trimming 20 lights worth all at once. Also are you doing hydro's or soil? Exhaust or a sealed room?

Anyway once you know how many lights in each building plus any other loads then you can plan it out....
