How much power does a band need?

Typically, larger bands will need four to five isolated 20 amp outlets, and they’ll need to run power to the lights on separate circuits. Having everything on separate circuits eliminates the chance of the band’s blowing a breaker, or the engineer’s having to to track down a “hum.”

How much current is required for a house?

Most homes require an electrical service of at least 100 amps. This is also the minimum panel amperage required by the National Electrical Code (NEC).

How many amps does a sound system use?

If by “amps” you mean “amperes”, all you need to know is that Watts = Amperes squared multiplied by Ohms, so Amps = square root of Watts/Ohms. So for two 8-ohm speakers at 350W each you’ll need sqrt(350/8) = 6.6Amps per speaker, for a total of 13.2A if powered from the same power supply.

How many amps is A car battery?

An average car battery has a capacity of around 48 amp hours which means that, fully charged, it delivers 1 amp for 48 hours, 2 amps for 24 hours, 8 amps for 6 hours and so on.

Can other electrical equipment share the sound-system phase?

Any other electrical equipment, such as lighting, should also share the sound-system phase if it is possible for a person to come into physical contact with both systems — for example, to touch the lights and a guitar at the same time. It’s a given that the venue’s technical staff should supervise any connection to a three-phase supply.
