Gary,

Thank you very much for the reply.  Ok, Here is my issue.  I was able to 
pull a permit to wire my 60' x 40' building with a 200 amp service.  I 
need to supply the shop with 3 phase for my machine shop equipment as 
well as regular 110v 220v for my lighting, and other single phase 
equipment.  What is the best way of supplying my shop.  Do I need to 
wire 2 panels, 1 3 phase and the other single phase or can I install one 
3 phase panel and get my single phase off of the 3 phase.  What panel 
and how many circuits would you recommend ?

I live in S.E. N.C. and my county is Pender Co.

Thank you,

Eric
