[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 81094, member: 67"] Re: Which 50A receptacle should we install for you??? Dave, how often does the church host acts that need more than "a bunch" of Edison circuits? How many acts have shown up with a 14-50 or CS6369? How many performances need "real" power? If the answer to the last question is "more than once in a blue moon", read on: Here is what I would do: have the electrician run a new 3 phase/5 wire service to the auditorium, the ugly side can be in a near by janitor closet or store room. On the "pretty side" install 6 each 20 amp Edison duplex outlets and a 14-50. On the ugly side, install a 3p 5wire 100 amp fused disconnect. All of these should have breakers in that new service box... 6 20 amp breakers, 1 ganged 50 amp, and 1 3 pole ganged 100 amp breaker to de-energize the disconnect while hooking up. Any performance that needs more power will require a generator and rented feeder. My guess is the Edisons will be used frequently and the rest? Not so much... but when you do host a "name" performer in the church you'll be much more likely to have the electrical service they need. My final question: has anyone from the church talked to the performers that travel the circuit? [/QUOTE]
