Best to be sure of the problems of what you are asking about an electical problem on before having that problem. Not an overall problem but details in why it could be fine.
"We are currently sending them with either power-con female to male
edison or
upc to male
edison. Here is my questions. I would say that 90% of the guys we use will run 208v on multi to a 6-
Nema 5-15 125v rated
edison plugs and not having any issues."
Of which you state... there is very many problems in understanding problems on many levels. Assuming electrically
fixture switching -
fixture don't care what
UPC or
Edison power feed it has in
voltage - what ever
UPC is in I have no idea, but in having a problem a say 6-NEMA 515 125v Rated
Edison plug... that's a mis-statement in a very much type way.
Sorry if harsh seeming, but the best way to make a defense about the misuse of your gear is out of an educated position on it. I'm confused about your weighing pints. Sorry but if of help, just have no idea of what your problems are.
Later posts seem to assume a lot.
So if a
Stage pin is dual rated in
voltage, is it not the perfect go-between for a
power switching thingie in doing 120 or 208v than doing say
Edison on it?
Power supply is
power switching, think I read a problem with this
stage pin as a
plug the adaptors a problem with....
Plug in what you want to them in
voltage. What's the problem in everything rated they
plug into as
adaptor?
Still not cocepting this problem - sorry, perhaps explain further to help my simple stated self.
"And from an equipment owner's standpoint, that's perfectly valid reasoning. It's unlikely you'll come up with a persuasive argument to spend money based on "but some in the field, over whom we have no control, are breaking the rules." "
Are we really talking breaking the rules on
LED fixtures for amperage in type of
plug used I think L6-15 verses L6-20? Is a company breaking the "rules" in using a L6-15
plug for a far less than 1800w load at 208v load for
LED gear? This I believe is the discussion in not spending money.
At some
point, I'll credit companies that went 208v 20A sockets for their outlets. Very useful given the last ten years worth of lighting gear in load on them. Too cheap and standing in the way?
Sorry, some choices between 1975 and 1999 when I joined with them, were other than I might have as a
Master Carpenter in changing one's fields over the next few years of making my own mistakes and good ideas in the next ten years of my own reign for blame in all intensive purposes. Breaking the rules.. yep at times, and setting them also for many too.
Way before I started working where I did, they went L6-15 as their
outlet, that with L5-15 and
Veam CIR of many pin configurations and VSC,
Pyle National 16 and 37 pin in addition to other types like
Soco #337 and Creep 19 pin as another style... want to really know how many styles of
plug has been in use since like 1975 when companies “too cheap” to change say their entire inventory to something and given
LED probably now isn’t worth changing at this
point....?
That’s a different topic. Making gear safe is different than a concept of gee, we should be L6-20r instead of L6-15R for
receptacle in assuming all gear currently is going better and higher in wattage, but all up until now is less than like 1800w in loading mostly.
Suspect this is a topic I would support a few years ago in why didn’t management
switch to 20A outlets on like a few very much $$$ K verses gear, cable an outlets.
Now it would seem mostly a moot
point in very high wattage gear mostly suited for L6-30 outlets or otherwise much
LED gear that’s low in wattage thus the L6-15R is really useful for a duplex outlelt.
Sorry but I’m just not seeing any realistic thing as a problem here. Again sorry in thinking by mistake, the L6-15 set of plugs is perhaps the best or at least for now not the worst choice.
On a question of what one sees... sorry overall but didn’t see problems over dogma in lack of what one wants to see over what is fine to use. Sorry if this causes a problem to you and above, expand knowledge, and or better way to fight the various battles that often I’m all for.
L6-15 verses L6-20.... believe as more and more
LED gear comes to the market, the L6-15 will be best for it in the end. Yea... you had some 2,500w moving lights populalr for a summer... where are they now? In the mean time, you get crappy 1.5Kw movers popular over the 1.2Kw ones. 1.2Kw ones and the 700w versions were and are a good selling pint for the 20 amp outlets.
Problem is most 15A industry outlets are 20 A breakered so they
cover the same gear, and less and less gear going out on shows isn't
LED.
Moot
point mostly overall.
