I think I can get AC cords from the staging co. My concern was running them across a parking lot in a tailgate.
(1)If we do get a generator, how big of a no-no would it be to
ground it to a light pole (assuming they don't have outlets we use)? Otherwise I'm still running some sort of cable across a tailgate to
ground the genny.
Good
point about the amount of time it'll run without refueling! I totally forgot about that.
(2)I thought you were only supposed to
meter hot-neutral and neutral-ground because hot-ground could
throw some
voltage onto
ground?
(3)If we go the extension
cord route we'd probably run it to the side of the parking lot then to an
outlet... so most likely it wouldn't get driven over much if at all. Would being driven over once or twice be really bad it we were using 8 or 10
AWG cables? I have a buddy that says he thinks he has some I could use for it. I'm thinking an 10
AWG run of <300 feet around the sides of a parking lot would be okay as long as I
meter... is that correct?
(4)What's the lowest
voltage I can be getting before the gear will start acting up?
Thanks Guy!
PS-- Not gonna be messing with live wires
... other than metering outlets.
