Are you the designer for the project? Do you even understand the enormity of the requirements? If you are the in-charge, god save the project from any calamity. Are you planning to synchronise at 440 Volts level? Do you understand the quantum of current you will be dealing with?

Please get on board a power consultant ASAP to get an idea of basic raw data you need before you can even think of starting design.

Are you the installer, or the customer?

If you are the installer, hire an electrical engineer.

If you are the customer, run away from this installer as fast as you can and hire a competent installer.
