Hi, I have searched for the answer, but can't find anything definitive. The Genius system is on it's way and I am preparing for it's arrival... What size breaker is required for 2-3 E640's, on a 110-120v system (Canada)? Would I be better off using a 220-240v outlet? If so, will I need any additional plugs, cables, etc.? Thanks, in advance for any help! Michael |

Your standard 15A breaker will be sufficient. While the cumulative peak draw of 3 lights will exceed 15A, it will be for a short enough time to not cause the breaker to trip. A 10A breaker may trip at higher frame rates, so you may need to slow down or split the lights among different circuits. The amperage would be the same regardless of voltage. |
