I have a 3 phase 10 hp Kellog-American compressor but KUB won`t give me 3 phase 2 poles from my house. Even To get 2 phase to my barn they want to set 3 poles since the power lines are on the other side of the street and won`t even talk to me about underground. I have a 60 amp 220 ran underground from the house but I think I would need more for a 220 compressor, lights and hopefully a welder. My elec bud says putting a 10hp 2 phase motor on it would not be economically feasible and would probably pull 60 amps on start up and a pony motor would not be either. So how come I can`t stack 2 5hp electric motors on one belt? Kinda last resort would be using a gas motor probably run on natural gas. What size gas motor would be equal to a 10 hp electric? KUB has about made me mad enough to get (or make) a natural gas powered generator to run the barn. What size generator would comfortably run the barn?? I have an old 4 cyl inline water cooled Kohler gen unknown size that I probably could get running on natural gas that would probably run lights and welder and with the Kellog-American running on nat gas I could tell KUB to shove it except for paying them for the nat gas. Sure wish Tessler would have perfected wireless electricity.
Any answers or ideas would be appreciated.
