Spring CarnivalBooth Electrical Plans

Power = Voltage X Current

Watts = Volts X Amperes

Drafting Tips

• Create a consistent symbol system.

• Make electrical elements stand out.

• Notate complicated or unusual elements.

Electrical Design Guidelines

• 120 Volt, 20 Amp Circuits terminated in NEMA 5-20R (Edison) connectors– Full-Size Booths: 16 Amps Maximum

– Blitz Booths: 8 Amps Maximum

• Cable and devices should be rated for the appropriate amperage, cable path, and weather exposure.

• All splices must occur inside a rated enclosure.

Electrical Plan Deliverables

• Ground Plan:– For each floor of the booth– Location of Electrical Devices– Cabling Paths

• Component List:– Type– Quantity– Amperage– Total Amperage
