I recently did my first over-hire job as an electrician in DC. There were a few things that were different from my standard practice. I am curious if they are local custom or standard practice.
( To moderators - this might make a good long term question / thread)
1 - The theatre was using socapex receptacles mounted in a raceway for power distribution. You grabbed the socapex connector with pin plugs attached, and plugged it into the connector. My question - what do you call the assembly with the male soca, and the six female pin plugs. The on site crew called in a 'Squid' Is this a standard term?
2 - The ME wanted each externsion cable labeled with the dimmer number on each end of the cable. Again is this standard, or local custom.
Thoughts and experiences?
