    Fire hazard or no? three-way block

    We have 25 or so of them in use constantly. Other than tightening the pin sockets because they're old, they work great. Most of them have new cable and plugs as well.

    Control/Dimming Non-Permanent Shutdown Procedures

    We leave our permanent racks on all of the time because they are in a locked cage in the trap room and also because they are the only power source for our house/aisle/emergency lights, however we always power down portable racks because of liability and the fact that they are non essential to...
