Non-Generator ideas to get additional non-generator power in a home setting: * If you have an electric dryer plug, you can unplug your dryer and get 30 amps at 230V or even more at 120V from it using a spider box and cable. * See what circuits you are not using much power on. If you have rooms in your house you will not be using, you may be able to turn the lights and equipment off in them and run power from outlets on these circuits them with an extension cord. * unused heating, cooling, or cooking circuits are also good sources of additional amps if you will not be using them. * Use LED lights. These take less power than Incandescent, tungsten, or halogen and you can get more of them on a circuit because they take less power. Power Draw of things used in a wedding: * Cooking Appliances -> High (Use of a Generator might be needed for many of these. House power might support small quanties of these appliances depending on the draw. Gas might be another option for some catering outdoor cooking). * DJ / Stage Lighting (Incandescent) -> Medium to High depending on how many lights used. (Generator may be needed here here but smaller loads can be run on house power). * Sound / PA Equipment: -> Medium. Often can be easily run on house power for backyard sound. Generally house power can support this but larger setups may require additional power. * DJ / Stage Lighting (LED) ->Low to Medium, depending on how many lights used. Likely many houses can support this. * Decor Lighting: -> Low to Medium depending on type, quanity, and whether LED or Incandescent.
This video was soooo helpful 👏🏾👏🏾 there is not a lot of content out there on this!
I’m so glad!!
