its been a while since i've worked on a show with bigger lights and I have a show tomorrow andn i've been hired as the bb electric. as i've been told so far, we have 1x12k and 2x6k. all the gear belongs to someone else and i didn't get to test anything so i'm just showing up cold. so my question is balancing the loads on 3 phase power. my plan was to put both 6ks on the red/blue legs and the 12k on the blue/black leg. i'm thinking that's correct but if so that technically leaves the blue leg shared between th 3 lights. so isn that not right? also i was told 2 separate runs of cable are being brought so that throws me off. i'm assuming the 12k needs its own run and if it does, is the configuration the same? or does that mean i can balance the 2x6ks on say, red/blue, blue/black and then put the 12k on whatever legs i want to share since its on its own run? this doesn't seem right to me tho since all power is coming from the same plant. anyone care to clarify for me in a basic non technical manner?
