Hi, I got to check up on what kind of electrical power a regular OB-bus or production truck needs/uses in the US. Here in Europe it is usually 16 or 32 Amps with three phases, so, 16x3, or 32x3. But as far as I know in the US they are more into "one phase to rule them all", and what is the standard then for a regular OB / production truck.

Regular means: about 3-6 people working in it, the Technical Operations Manager, the producer, graphics operator, slow motion and maybe sound (if the TOM isn't doing it). It will run 4-6 cameras, 2-3 computers, 3 large TV screens around 40-50", some routers, switches, recorders, UPS and also needs Air Conditioner.

Thanks for any replies!
