We are in the process of having construction documents put together for a new 6,000 square foot Medical Office Building on our campus. We had planned on a 208V, 3-phase electrical service, however the x-ray machine we are planning to purchase is only available at 480V, 3-phase, wye distribution.
Is there a way for the electrician to provide a 208V, 3-phase service and then step up for that lone piece of equipment, or would it be more cost effective and make more sense to provide a 480V, 3-phase service, and then step down to 208V, 3-phase for the lower voltage requirements?
Please advise.
Thanks.
