Electrical power available for events

All electrical appliances brought to site must be agreed beforehand using form below. Any appliance not
listed cannot be used.

Divinity school
Socket outlets are found in the raised floor area (beneath the floor in concealed voids), two double sockets
on the south aspect and two double sockets on the north aspect. These are derived in two circuits marked
A or B on the plan below and must not exceed a total load of 32Amps or 7500Watts (7.5KW) per circuit.

Convocation House
This area has no distributed power to it, although a temporary supply can sometimes be provided.

Chancellors Court
There are two circuits of four sockets. Each circuit is capable of 10kw (10000w) or 32A. There is a load
calculator available to assist you with balanced loading of these circuits.

General notes:
All circuits in these areas are single phase and of limited capacity (there is no three phase and neutral
supply available, 415v). All appliances plugged into these circuits must be load checked prior to being used
(POWER WILL FAIL IF TOTAL CIRCUIT LOADS ARE EXCEEDED). All equipment brought in must have a current
portable appliance test (PAT), which may be requested before the appliance can be used on site, and must
comply with IEE Regulations and safety standards. All leads placed around these areas to distribute power
must be suitably protected and routed whenever they may become a trip hazard or at risk of being
damaged by items being placed upon them. All cables should be secured using low-tac tape only.
