Right now for our show we are using 5 - 750 watt strobes. We really like to use the blinder effect and that definitely means that you cannot put more than one on a 20amp breaker. We usually have to tie in using either bare wire or cams.
My questions are:
1. Are we missing something? Is there some other way to run these lights or do you pretty much have to do it the way we are. We are using a 200 amp distro and use it for are whole lighting rig. Sorry if this is a stupid question my forte is programming rather than electrical....I only know enough to make it work.
2. I really want to use more powerful strobe such as the Martin Atomic 3000. They run on 220 volts. Right now we are running single phase and wired up for 110. Is there a way that we can use some sort of a step converter to make this work?
Any advice will be extremely helpful. Our show is getting bigger and is commonly too powerful for some venues we play at. We are in that zone of playing a lot of gigs but the venues are not always large and ready for us; recently we had to have a work site generator rented. I just want to make sure we aren't overlooking something we could do to make this a less painful process.
