Michael,
I’m surprised no one chimed in on this one…
There’s the long reply and the short reply. Here’s the short form answer.
I believe audio, video and sound should always share the same power source be it shore power or a generator.
It’s a very common thing… or it should be.
E1016 Camloks are pretty much the standard in our industry. I’ve also seen and use the smaller E1015s but that’s a whole another story.
All three of our trucks are wired single phase 208V or 240V – That’s two hots and a ground. We float the neutral via our isolation transformers. Each of our transformers has three input taps – two of then being 208 & 240 volts. We set the input tap to the most applicable voltage setting and let our voltage regulator do the rest. You you have the extra bread, you can get a multiple tap isolation transformer with taps in +/- 10 volt steps so you can set the volts a lot closer to the voltage you’re getting this way the regulator doesn’t have to work so hard.
We should get into a discussion about the difference between Wye & Delta, step up/down transformers, buck/boost coils and such…
I’ll try to address this in another post. In the meantime maybe a lurking electrician or electrical design brainiac can enlighten us on the differentiation.
You really need to have a transformer on board taking in the voltage, setting it down when necessary and keeping it isolated from everyone else.
I would keep that Furman regulator in high range mode until you get your power needs more situated.
I hope to get more time to get into it more….
Here's a couple of pics of a three phase system with three six tap isolation transformers and stuff. Checkout the two voltage reguators on the left for their tech power...
