I am renting a sensor rack with 48 - 2.4k dimmers for use in an older venue.
Here is where my lack of knowledge comes into play. What are the power requirements for the rack? I know that it requires 400a and there is where my knowledge ends. We have an electrician coming to look at the venue to ensure that there is adequate power available. Is there any additional information that will need to be given to the electrician? I am assuming that I will need 3 phase power with camlock connectors; but I want to make sure that I am not making anything up.
Here is a fun little sidebar on the venue that I am sure that someone will enjoy… The existing dimming system in the venue is a Kliegl system originally commissioned in 1919 with a total of 77 dimmers; granted they are all 7k and 12k’s. I think we might be due for an upgrade, but where else can you power FOH with a few dimmers!
Thanks for the help!
