Author Topic: Highlight II & Apogee Head - Electrical Requirements? Eric Robinson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 538 From: Santa Rosa, CA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 09-26-2010 05:36 PM                     I am installing a Super Highlight II using a 3000 watt bulb. The console is wired so that 3 phase power comes in to a breaker in the console. The output of the breaker on the console supplies the power to the switcher. Also, one of the legs supplies power to the projector motor, another leg supplies power to the CNA100 automation and Component Engineering LED power supply (x2 - analog and digital.) And, the third leg supplies the accessory outlets. We got this console prewired this way. My question is, I need to tell the electrician how many amps we require from the 3 phase service. I am guessing a 3 phase 40 amp breaker with the appropriate sized wire would be ideal. Any suggestions?  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 09-26-2010 06:15 PM                        Looks good to me; don't forget the ground and the neutral.
