I have been asked to get (2) new duplex receptacles in approx. 22 rooms in a old fraternity house. The panel is a highleg panel and already has (3) subpanels being fed from it... I talked to a person that is on the panel of NFPA and teaches electrical classes and was informed that this could be a FIASCO... But the best way he knows with the information I gave him is to install a transformer for the new power... I have pictures and more info posted on this websight along with another project that I need to run a subpanel for (6) 120v duplex outlets (2) 240v outlets and lighting for a laundry room that is being constructed in a portion of the existing garages... Please go to this sight for pics and more info on both projects, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...Thanks Jerry

I'm not sure where the 'Fiasco' lies, just don't tie into the high leg, not even with the 240 loads. But I guess if they want to buy and have you install a transformer on site then more money for you right?

As for the other project, perhaps a single phase(2 pole) subpanel would work, so no-one has opportunity to tie into the high leg later?
