I need to power 8, 575 watt source 4 on dimmers. The trouble is there is no electricity nearby, so I have to run from a generator.
Is it possible to use a 7500 watt generator such as Generac Power Systems - GP7500 which has an L14-30R receptacle and connect that to an ETC Smartpak, which currently has an L21-20 plug on it? Obviously, an adapter would need to be built, which I can have done. Fortunately, the generator and the dimmer can be right next to each other so there won't be a long cable run required.
The alternative would be a bunch of shoebox dimmers, but since all I have are smaller, Leviton, etc., which are only RATED for 2,400 watts (except the power cord is only rated for 15A so I'd need at least 4) I'd rather use the larger, rack dimmer if possible. Suggestions?
