For our business. we had a 30 amp breaker put in at one point and 30 feet of coiled wiring ran to our server room... This was to be for a UPS which required a 30 amp breaker.. Since that time, we opted to go with a very large ups.. which requires a 60 amp breaker.. (and heavier gauge wiring, i believe).. We have had a few quotes so far.. It seems they would have to rewire the 30 foot distance, hardware into the back of the UPS and change the breaker from 30 to 60... So far, quotes range from $1000-$1300 for this work.. Does this seem right? *Is it that much more expensive (equipment cost?) from a 30 to 60 amp breaker? *IE: *i think the original work was around $450? I should add, this is a 220volt line (208?).. i forget the exact value, but 2PH+G on the ups connection end.. Thanks in advance If there is conduit involved and you are upsizing the service then the previously run pipe may be too small. If they are not running new conduit then the job is definately overpriced. |
