I have 8x750w S4 lekos patched into 4 dimmers via an 8 circuit 12/14 multi-cable. I'm trying to patch more lights on the same electric and am considering doubling up the S4s into the 1st 4 circuits of the multi-cable.
My first question is capacity, can anyone think of a reason that 2 750w Source Fours would be problematic in an 8 circuit setup given that each circuit is sharing a neutral with another circuit?
Second, the dimmer has 3 phase power and the instruments I want to power are from a different dimmer entirely that's powered by a single 120v 20a source. I can't find a wiring diagram for putting 8 channels on a 12/14 socapex so does anyone know how the neutrals are wired so I can make sure that I'm keeping the power sources separate?
Am I overthinking this?
Finally, does anyone know a licensed electrician in the San Francisco Bay Area with a lot of experience in theatre installations? Our last electrician just retired and his replacement has no experience with theatrical installations.
Thanks in advance.
