Electrical Distribution

[vinny baby]

Hi, lads and lasses

 

I have just added quite a few new moving lights to my rig, and im after a distribution pannel to provide over 32amps. I would like the distro to be able to run from both 3 phase, and single phase outlets. I would like the distro to be able to withstand enough ampage for 11 x 250w MSD movers, + room for exspansion.

 

would it be wise to have socapex outlets on the distro, that I can snake off to 16A connectors, or better to do it some other way

 

what do you surgest?

 

Im not a Sparky, so I dont deal with this type of thing.

 

calculating load, and ampage is as far as I go.

 

cheers in advance

 

Vince

 

(ps feel free to move this to the correct forum division, couldnt think where to put it)

Hi Vince

 

I take it you've tried Stage Electrics? The Rubber Box Company do distro's too.

Contact SES Film and TV if you want a decent Mains Distro

Vince, You have to decide what you want in terms of sockets, soca or lots of 16A's or .... whatever. People rig movers using link leads and Y-leads

Then talk to SE SES or RB from above, or Vipcolighting with the spec for a design and price.

 

If you spec it for three phase then a short jumper lead from a single phase plug to a three phase socket wired E-E, N - N. and Line to L1, L2, AND L3, via an in-connector jump lead. Do however spec the input connector to carry the full neutral load on the neutral pin.

Contact KES power and light, ask for Jason. They do a huge range of custom built distro's.
