Power distribution

Your team safely runs mains power to the A/V booth, the stage, and the active loudspeakers. Audio Cabling handles audio cables.

Before starting, review the team’s DC-83 and Sheet 4-1 in the schematics.

Main reference — Sheet 4-1. Use it for venue outlets, stage power, stage monitors and the route to the A/V booth.

Safety:
Roll the 50 kg PCS-2 case on a clear route with helpers; wear work shoes and gloves.

Electrical work: Only a qualified person performs panel work or other work requiring a qualification. Never alter an equipment ground. Set aside damaged cords, avoid overloaded circuits, and keep power away from the baptism area and wet floors.

What your team does

  1. Confirm the two approved venue outlets on Sheet 4-1 and verify supply ratings against the expected loads. Agree routes with Stage and Audio Cabling before laying mains cables through their work area.
  2. From the left outlet, run the booth supply along the stage front and down the centre route to the A/V booth.
  3. From the right outlet, run power for stage equipment, including both stage monitors. Coordinate final connections with Stage and Loudspeakers.
  4. Confirm safe wall sockets for the lobby and Accounting speakers; run their mains supply and coordinate final connections with Loudspeakers.
  5. Protect every floor crossing and inspect circuits, routes and cover edges; keep exits and participant paths clear. Tell the teams before energizing any supply. Jeff connects booth power only after A/V Booth’s connection checks.
  6. When power work is safely complete, check with Lacey and help Audio Cabling with the remaining cable work and floor crossings.

Where practical, keep mains power separate from audio cables; cross at right angles where they meet.

The venue wireless receivers at the stage may also need power; confirm this with the venue technician.

Follow the confirmed dismantling teams and instructions. After the audience has cleared and the safety meeting has finished, let the teams shut down their equipment. Jeff isolates and disconnects power before cords are removed. Use a qualified person for panel work and inventory the power equipment.
