Hi, I'm a freelance gaffer/best boy electric for film sets on the East Coat. I'm filming in a high school soon and I wanted to know if generally each class room has its own circuit, or if their can be more than one circuit per room. Sorry this question is kind of vague.

One circuit per student. Special ed classes require two per student.

Nice try. You have to go through the school system's Union and school board permission first, not this site.

What does that have to do with the question? Seems like a legit question.

I would head to the maintenance shop and talk to the, school board electrician. Might take some donuts, ask if him/ her has time to stop by and show you where is the best place to get power. I do a lot of school electric, remods and such, a old sparky who has been around awhile can save you grief!
Oh, you're the one that the tape is named after.....

How old is the school? General class rooms in older schools did not have a lot of circuits. Often the general purpose receptacles for 2 or 3 class rooms would be on a single circuit.

That is how most schools around here are as well. And most of the time the lighting is 277V....if that matters to the OP.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

No way, my PC needs sterilized, homogenized, pasteurized power. It makes it work faster.

Of course it's overkill. But if the state is gonna waste money at least I get my share. This school is phase 2. Phase 1 is the same building but was financed with private money and wired by another company. It's 100% mc cable and my building is 100% emt. The first building should be spontaneously combusting any second now.BBQ said:
