New hook-up, what is needed between grid and my equipment?
(OP)
I am looking to hook up a new site to the grid in northern Ontario for the purpose of providing electrical power to a pair of heavy duty water pumps. Each with the following characteristics as provided by manufacturer: 500 HP, 1200 RPM, 3PH, 600 V, 60 Hz, TEFC, Premium Efficiency Baldor Motor.
We will be having HydroOne extend the line about 4km to our site.
What I am uncertain about is what I need to have installed between the pole that the Hydro company brings the line to and my pumps. Transformer? Substation? Some sort of breaker box etc.?
I was a mining guy in school, not electrical, so this is all new to me.
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

RE: New hook-up, what is needed between grid and my equipment?
Typically when you contact the new business/electric service department, describe your equipment, and likely pay a deposit, they will give/send you all of their service requirements.
If you are lucky, some of this may be online.

Honestly, for a project this size, you really need a EE with some experience.
