Building electrical to sub panel limited. Need 70 amp brkr.. power draw is momentary and infrequent. Is load test needed? If so is this simple or costly? Thank you for any help!:)

A load test is needed only if the specifying engineer or manufacturer of the X-Ray requires the test.

Get an electrician! This is NOT something you should be doing yourself, especially in a commercial health care setting.
X-ray machines and circuits in paces like this have VERY strict rules and codes.
The power draw being "momentary and infrequent" is completely meaning less. The load is what it is, and is listed with the equipment.

Well. I guess the truth hurts. :rolleyes:
