This ^The circuit should only be run at an 80% load, so figure 24A x 220V = 5280 watts. Are your fans and T5's also running on 220 volts?
Electrical power comes in two flavors.Do we have a thread outlining how to wire a panel for a 1, 2 and 3 phase?

You have to have the third phase bus in the panel to accommodate 3-phase feeder, plus a neutral bus.Do we have a thread outlining how to wire a panel for a 1, 2 and 3 phase?
And this would allow you 5760 watts of available power, per code. The circuit breaker wouldn't trip if you exceed that for a short time.Why not just snag a powerbox that plugs into that 30 amp dryer plug? They have 220 and 120 outlets on them and could save you a lot of money hiring an electrician. They are plug and play.
My warehouse has three phase power and it isn't any more difficult to work with then single phase IMO. It's awesome being able to run 24k off a 100 amp sub panel, having the load equally balanced, which you couldn't do with single phase.
Three phase power, doesn't save you any money on your e bill...watts are watts...
