Abstract:
There is a lot of misinformation about what is needed for AC power for events. Much of it has to do with life-threatening advice.

This session will cover power for small to large systems, from a couple boxes on sticks up to multiple stages in ballrooms, road houses, and event centers; large scale installed systems, including multiple transformers and company switches, service types, generator sets, 1ph, 3ph, 240/120 208/120.
