power requirements for 38 roll threaders

power requirements for 38 roll threaders

(OP)
Looking for a little help on what would be the best way to power up 38 Roll Threaders. They are about 42 amps each at 480v. I could get two 800 amp bussways and buss disconnect each one or make an MCC for them all or 2 MCCs to split them up. Unless someone has a better idea? Also I may have to have 2 Transformers to power them up, unless I can get a big enough one to power them all up. In any case I need a big transformer and big wire. I can calculate the first one with 125% and add all the subsequent ones to that. for power requirements right? Any suggestions.
