Hi all,
I'm working on a show in an old venue. I have access to a 60A 240VAC event power plug (NEMA 18-60 Plug).
My desire is to bring in a few moving lights and wash units and supplement it with a small conventional package.
I was thinking I would build a custom distro for this. I was going to basically wire the first hot leg to Phase A on my dimmer pack and throw a 20A breaker on the end for half of my intelligents, and do the same with the second hot leg, for Phase C and the other half of my intelligents.
Right now, my current plot requires that my total intelligent light load is about 10A/120V on each breaker.
My total conventional light load is about 40A/120V on each phase.
My question is:
If I rent an ETC 12 x 2.4kw Sensor dimmer pack, which should really use 120A, will it still work given that my available power is less than that? Does it matter since I'm only loading each phase to 40A/120V, which is available, or will the pack not work at all without 120A?
Any responses, ideas, alternatives, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Happy Holidays!
