Sheldon,

Thanks! It's my pleasure to hook you folks up.

IMO, it makes for a better location & mobile audio community in general.

I want to get everyone together rather than the status quo (pulling us apart.)

I believe in strength in numbers! The more we unite the stronger our community gets!!!

We float the neutral via the center tap of each transformer.
Each XFMR handles 208V or 240V Single Phase -- Two hots and ground is all we need.

The dual (main & aux) trannies can be connected to different power sources.
It's about options. They do still share the same ground!
In most cases we will jump from the main to the aux Cam-Loks.
I can have multiple events happening in this vehicle...

Kind of like "A Tale of Two Control Rooms." Two or more clients or acts can share the facility.
If one of them has an auxilary power source or is working in the evening rather than the daytime, different power maybe needed.
The right (analog audio) side of the studio is on the main XFMR.
The left side (digital audio & video) is on the Aux XFMR.
Various outlets can be swap between the main and aux XFMRs when necessary via an L5-30 power panel within the power area.

Like I said, many times before -- It's about back-ups and plenty of options.

The Cam-Lok thru-puts (outputs) are parallels.

Taking a look at your Camlock Patch Panel...I don't see provisions for a neutral. You only tie in with two hots and a ground?


Also, do you plan on having the Aux tranny connected to a different power source? or will you jump from the main Camlocks to the Aux?

Or, here's another question...are the Camlock outputs parallels, or switched?
