Hi all!
I'm setting up our light plot from a university designer for our spring musical this year. I've had experience with our ION board, using conventionals as well as intelligent lighting (DMX). The problem I have when circuiting a plot, I'm not too sure how to figure out how many of an instrument I can two-fer or daisychain to one circuit. For example, we have 575w Source fours, Whats the limit number of lights that I can plug into a 20-amp circuit? We also have Altman SpectraCyc 100's, which require 100w of hot power. Am I correct in saying that a 20-amp circuit can supply 2400w? Would that theoretically supply 24 SpectraCycs?
Also, what happens if a circuit is "Overloaded"?
Thanks for your help!
