POWER CONNECTIONS

SINGLE AND THREE PHASE SUPPLY A single phase supply is an amount of energy (32 amps) used to supply equipment through a circuit. For example, a single phase supply could run an ICT classroom filled with computers. The limit of energy for the computers to pull would be the 32 amps, but general PC's pull around 2 amps each out of the general 500 watts they use to run. Certain things would need more energy than your single phase 32 amps. For example, a theatre with a large lighting rig. When you come about the problem of having too much energy in your rig than what your single phase can supply, then this is when you would use a three phase energy supply. Three phase supply are three single phases separated for more energy. CONNECTION TYPES FOR DIFFERENT EQUPIMENT AND VOLTAGES DIMMER EQUIPMENT

Single-phase connector:

A dimmer is used in the subject of lighting. A dimmer allows you to change the brightness of a light. Dimmers come in different sizes when used for different things, for example; a theatre dimmer will be a large size due to the amount of lighting required. In the modern professional lighting industry, dimmers can be used for fading lighting. Dimmers can be used for individual fading such as fade up dimmer and fade down dimmer. Here are some of the types of dimmers you will be able to find; Rheostat, Saltwater, Coil-rotation transformer, Autotransformer dimmer & thyristor dimmer.

Three-phase connector:

TECHNICAL POWER

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS HSE have codes of practises for safety in electricity when running an event safely. HSE state that; All electrical installations and equipment must comply with the general requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Here are some guidelines that HSE have put in place for an event:

A technical power system is used to take out noise created from sensitive equipment from the power supply. A technical power system works by an isolation transformer with a center tap creating a separate supply with conductors at a balanced 60 V with ground in mind. Unlike the three wire distribution system used on my next page technical power systems ground neutral is distributed to the loads. Technical power systems are used for the audio and video industries.

13 AMP Plug:

the location of any existing overhead power lines or buried cables; the total power requirements for the site; access to a network power supply; the use of generators; Earthing; positioning of temporary overhead or underground cables; the main isolators controlling the electrical supplies to the stage lighting, sound, special effects, emergency lighting, and lifting equipment;
