5 amp socket on a 6 amp circuit

We run on a fat frog. It's a cracking little desk.

It was the performance studio at the Northern Ballet Theatre. They were ETC sensor pro dimmers. 96 channels per dimmer, 3kW per channel :D

I'll try and find some pics tomorrow.
 
Hi,

Neally one of them broken Master fader £400 eBay. Would make a difference to the massive ADB desk.

:shock: Sweet thats a rack. 4 by any chance looking at the distro.
 
I think it's the best value for money desk around and ideal for amature venues. All the pro guys I work with all look down their noses at it, but money isn't such an ussue at their venues.

Here's the dimmers.

There are three racks at the moment with an isolator in readiness for a fourth as / when funds allow. The circuits for the fourth rack have been doubled up with the third. They used up nearly an entire DMX universe just on the dimmers :lol:

The panelboard also fed the non-dim circuits from a standard TP&N dist board, and something else too which I can't remember, but they were not connected it the photo.

Here's some of the wiring inside.

The dimmers fed out to panels like this

The socapex connectors have 6 dimmed circuits on each socket, and the IEC is a non-dimmed supply. (IHNI why they spec'd IEC!)

The dimmers then get loaded with modules like these.

This was a small rack on a different venue we did. It controlled the house lights and the stage workers. You can get dimmer or switching modules for dimmed or non-dimmed circuits. Each module controls 2 channels and can be swapped out in seconds if one goes faulty.

This dimmer was linked to the main stage dimmers as part of a paradigm system all controlled by touch screen :D
