Hey guys!
Was lamenting recently about the lack of three phase power in my venue, looking at getting a 400A cam service installed, trying to argue with everyone, and then recently ran across these on the catwalk:
208V 3 phase twist lock connector
(in receptacle, not plug form)
208V, 3 phase power... just what I needed! It was left over, still in service from some motors that had been used to fly PA and subsequently replaced with steel.
Now, I just need to get this into something I can power 208V movers with, and I'm set. Came up with the moving light distro one of my suppliers rents out:
MLD 208V
Obviously, I could just get a male TWL plug and wire the distro into it, but I doubt the rental company would appreciate that too much. So I'm looking at making an adaptor plug: Male 30A 208V 3 phase TWL to female C-5 30A 208V 3 phase pin and sleeve
However...
a) can't find any pinout diagrams for C5. Just lots of corvette wiring diagrams.
b) wanted to run this by the members and make sure there isn't something obvious (or obviously dangerous) I'm missing here.
