I built one that's similar to this... One tip for ya, John is to take out that straight 240 volt twistlock, and drop in an L14-30 receptacle. Run that short #10 white wire over to the neutral buss bar and done! This is a 120/240 volt outlet, that will let you plug in amp amp racks, small drop boxes, etc.
Yea they are! I love ours, i dont know how we did it so long without them!
Thanks for posting. I got boned at a mobile gig last week because they only had 2 adaptors for the spider and no electrician on site. I'm going to buy my own spider this week and include it in all off site rentals.
Can I run a 6 gauge 300 feet to a spider box then 10 gauge 100 feet to an RV? Any issues with that?
Hello
Great Video. so how did you fix the L20 plug. i need a 4 wire 220 30 amp from the 3 wire plug.
Have you experienced the high voltage light lights on?
Where do you see a high voltage light?
Helped alot
Great! Debating on doing more like this.
A little trick to save money on your feeder cables try a compere / RV supply the commentators you have shown are used in the industry and often it is less expensive to buy a cord set with the 50 amp twist to the 50 amp 4 prong from them it is the cord used on the big RVs.
Are the RV style twist connectors you describe compatible with the California connector style cs63 input?
@@tmmyboy124 most of the RV industry uses the California style twist locks
Good stuff John and thanks for sharing!!
Do you have issues with gfci on stage?
Good question and that's what I'm wondering...
I want to buy some of these but afraid to use them with my bassboss Subs...
Can they handle heavy burst loads???
Spider boxes are great! we use them for Concerts, movie shoots, various events!
These are great I use them at all my school events!
how would you connect this straight to the main breaker box ?
That’s what I’m looking for too
did you guys find how to do it or i can make a video to teach
@@edgar5463 can you pls make a video to teach?
sonidodannyboy did you find out the answer
If you wanted to connected directly to a breaker box the box would have to have either a straight or twist lock 50 amp receptacle off of a dedicated breaker in said box...
Or if the Box had a dedicated breaker you could direct wire it...
But half of his point was talking about being in touch with engineers and finding out where these receptacles are.
If it's a legit venue they should have a couple on or nearby the box or stage areas...
can 10 awg cable be used to energize it?
I hope so, I just bought three 50 Footers of 10 / 3
We use these all the time at the TV station I work for. Mainly on our big Christmas parade when we do a huge live remote broadcast with 20k lights and multiple robotic Jib cams and stage lights for news anchors. We also use them on our big 10k race and NASCAR races with ESPN and other sports groups for big satellite uplink broadcast. These type of distro boxes work great for us all the time when we plug up to big movie set "silent" diesel generators.
I have a question on the 30amp cable you made? Is this a Output, to go to another power box? Or is a Input, to use receptacles in box, how many receptacles does have for 30amps? Thanks anything would help.
Al Ashley thats an output to power the equipment
Roy prater and Kevin Gammon. Congrats. Lexington KY USA. I got a real engineering economics soul heavy lumber style movements. Most say brain = soul
Not imagination temporary. Could upgrade solar thermal process.
You participate. Not as much success yet. Getcha larger size go faster for less experience.
where do you get AC to feed this power distributor like from parks on live events from where what AMPS should be the breaker where u are getting AC
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong I'm learning this as well but I believe to answer the gentleman's question a 50 amp plug can have up to 100amp breaker, 2 poles of 50amps.
This is why most of these boxes have 5, 20 amp Breakers...
I work for Hd supply white cap we stock these temp power boxes and the 50amp cords that go with them. We sell these at a competitive price. Please let me quote whomever may be in need of the boxes. Thanks
Do you still work for this company?
