Changes

PS1's second floor catwalk electrical panel, P2-2, is a 3-Phase 208/120 "High Leg Delta" panel. In addition to the Bridgeport, Servers, and miscellaneous outlets which it currently supplies, it previously supplied an Induction Cooktop, a Lasercutter and the Kitchen Oven; it no longer supplies those devices, and hasn't done for quite some time (though the Electrical wiki is not updated). As a result, there is ample capacity on the existing panel to supply a Coffee Roaster or other large service devices in their stead. PS1's wiring from the panel, however, appears insufficient to the task.

This is a proposal to install 6 gauge wire with conduit from Panel 2-2; this vote also proposes installing a 60 amp breaker to replace two 20 amp breakers previously associated with either the Induction Cooktop or the Oven. Work will be done by a qualified professional electrician who has provided a quote for his services of $900. Theo Tetzlaff has an interest in providing a coffee roaster for members to use in the space, which would benefit from this electrical work; as a result, he is willing to offer to pay for up to $400 of the cost of PS1's upgrade to our infrastructure. In addition, there may or may not be an opportunity to fix certain code violations that currently exist, such as a non-GFCI outlet above the sink, under the same work order. No unnecessary or detrimental changes would be made, however.
