Re: L5-30 wire for 220V?
I put in bold the comment that I take exception to... as it WAS NOT what you asked in your original post... it IS what you asked over on PSW, though.
See my reply to Silas as to why I would not use this outlet.
That said, there is something going on with the venue and their 'no tap' policy. Either they've had a very bad, expensive experience with power taps or they discovered that events that need taps are LOUD and that noise has generated complaints from other users or guests. IF the venue has no SPL issues, have your client hire a suitable generator and feeder, connect your distro and away you go. You should also have a little chat with your client about how they pick the venue and determine, in advance, that its technical capabilities are sufficient for their event...

ps. The book Marlow quotes from was written by Richard Cadena, one of the best authors on entertainment power. I highly recommend this book for anyone learning about electrical service for entertainment/special events.
