Electrical System Integrity
Electrical safety and integrity must be maintained in temporary
lighting. Follow these guidelines:
- Where breakaway poles are used, breakaway electrical devices should also be used.
- Overhead wiring may be considered where non-breakaway poles are used.
- Voltage should not exceed 277 VAC to ground for temporary lighting units mounted at 18 feet or less.
- It is sometimes cost effective to use permanent lighting service pole locations for the temporary system.
- Usually fused fixtures and non-fused breakaway disconnects are preferable for temporary lighting.
