Power Considerations
- Run all electric cords to one location if possible - Keep electrical runs as short as possible

- Keep connections off the ground and out of water hazards

- Check all connections for broken grounds

- Use cable ramp where electric cables cross pedestrian or road crossings

- Limit loads on extension cords to 15 amps

- Add a safety factor of 1.2 when figuring amp loads

- Separate loads, do not put all lighting on one circuit

- Generators must be a minimum of 20’ from tenting

- Some jurisdictions require fencing and or spill prevention around generators

- Generators must be grounded, this can be accomplished by driving a ground rod or connection to an existing ground

- Some events will require a permit and inspection

- Consider how many hours the generator will be in use, this will affect your rental and fuel cost

- Will your generator need fueling during your event, if so, how often and at what time?

- Will your event require an attendant for power needs?
