How much power will I need to run my shop?

[WJ MARK]

well, I built a shop here at my house so that I can work from home. Trying to have the power company come out and install a seperate meter and bigger transformer on the pole. All was good till itthe engineer who I met with sent in for approval. They saw 40hp rotary phase converter and denied me. I havent got the converter yet but i was gonna build one with a motor i have. I also have a 7-1/2hp converter i was gonna use seperate for the lathe. I have a 20 hp fadalfx 65 amp 3ph, 20hp 4020 40 amp , and a haas 15 hp. 40 amp. and a 5hp gangtool lathe 30 amps. plus some misc 2nd opp stuff. Im planning to have a 400 amp meter installed to run the shop. Power company says I can only have a maximum of 10hp per motor.???? that seems like total crap!!! So being honest didnt work and now I have to lie and down rate my equipment for them. How much service you think I really need?? I know these machine dont draw much when they are running, and I mostly machine aluminum which doesnt require hardly any HP. Sorry for the long post just alittle frustrated!

Im also thinking about converting my 4020 to single phase. Like mentioned before these machine dont draw much amperage while runnning, there power ratings are way overkill. I checked the fadal ontime and it was only pulling like 8 or 12 amps while maching some parts.
