Extension Cords

Filed under: Tips — @ 1:24 am

Ambient + Studio is big. 10,000 square feet of hardwood floor. Big. You can sprinkle 20 outlets around the rental studio space and still not have one within 30′ of another. Thats why I encourage clients using household-plug equipment to bring or rent lots of extension cords. We have a unique and versatile power distribution system here at the rental studio (see “Power”) but extension cords are a must.

We’ve worked out a great system for getting electricity to wherever it is needed with the rental studio. There are two Camlok power drops in Ambient + Studio. Both are three-phase and carry 200 amps per leg. With 50-75 feet of 5-wire banded cable we can pull the entire feed to anywhere in the studio. With the addition of “lunchboxes” each leg can become a 10-outlet service exactly where you need it. That means you could have 30 outlets on 15 20-amp circuits anywhere in the studio. And that is from just ONE of the Camlok drops. Remember: the rental studio has two such power supply.
