Hi... I hope you guys can help
I am trying to open a very small beauty/tanning salon.
Our problem is the amps of the sunbeds.
We need 2 sunbeds that start up at about 60 amps and operate at 50 amps.
So that's 100 amps total... but the supply in the shop is only 100 amps.
The sunbed manufactures electrician is telling us that if it's 100 amp then really we have 120 amps available.
If we do have 120 amps then we are fine, if it's only 100 amps we are not and will need to look into an upgrade...
... which is my next question ...
what upgrade options/costs are available to me:
200 amps single phase?
3 phase?
single to 3 phase converter?
others?
hope you can help this is really confusing... i'm getting confliction info and I really need to know where I stand.
Thanks
