House power: amps and fuses

[John Hall]

I believe it's the law actually in L.A. but I'm not positive.

 

Oh, I don't disagree that it IS the law, I disagree with the law itself.

Any Gaffer or Best Boy should know as much as a certified electrician when it comes to performing a tie-in.

It is a dangerous procedure, but I think a certified electrician is just as likely to make a mistake as a technician.

Obviously with larger industrial services, an Electrician should perform the tie-in as he will be able to identiy hazards which may be unfamiliar to the technician (like a 16KV service as mentioned in an earlier post!).
