[QUOTE="RYAN LOUDMUSIC JENKINS, post: 98037, member: 70"] Re: Power Feeder and Voltage Drop 200 Amps is plenty for most stuff these days. #2 banded is rated for 190 amps. It's what I use. I use a 200 Amp OCPD and inspectors have always been good with it. (Just dont pull over 190 Amps) If you need bigger wire, say 2/0 or 4/0 for a bigger show, let the generator provider bring the cable. That being said, you won't need the big wire unless you get a totally different rig and lots of it. Next weekend I will be providing six 3-way tops a side, 20 subs, 12 monitor mixes, sidefills, 16 movers, some LED pars, consoles, stage power, etc. we will be running on #2 five wire. We will have plenty of extra capacity for safety margin. If I get a break, I'll measure current at full output and post it here. I am assuming somewhere around 100 amps. [/QUOTE]
