Mac 2K lamp blowing fuse

Update: think I found the issue. Movers were being lamped on at the same time during the warmup/broadway check cue which was causing a large voltage drop (probably from ~122V to 100ish) to the point that they were blowing fuses and occasionally tripping breakers. Had stage manager adjust her start up procedure so she would do the broadway check first, then go to blackout and plug in/lamp on movers. Also changed the lamp on macro to lamp on each mover one at a time in 5 second intervals. We'll see if this does it.

also discovered there is a 208 feed for the future.

I always "stagger strike" a moving light rig, either per truss or per fixture type or both depending upon the size of the rig. Movers pull some serious current when striking. Also it is never good to hit an electrical system with a hard load if it can be avoided (bump the entire rig on). It puts added stress on everything.
