I feel I should know this better, but I just don't.
I have a 200amp disconnect in a theater. 5 wire; 3hots, neutral, ground.
I have my distro and dimmer tied in.
My total wattage draw is 14,840watts from leko, led, moving lights. All of them running at 120v.
The math says thats a total of 124 amps being drawn.
Does that mean I only have 76 amps available for guest power (or really 56amps safely), or does the 3 phase nature of the disconnect give me more head room? I've always been confused as to how to look at this correctly.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Tony
