This is a normal post Did the bit about having "two leads" with 240V instead of a "lead and a neutral" make sense?
If so please explain - it's doing my head in!

In the US they use their other 120v AC line that is 180 degrees out of phase to achieve 240v differential (2 phase).

In the UK we have single phase 240v AC typical domestic and three phase 400v AC typical commercial.

We generally work with 3 phase through a lot of "distros"...

Do you wire everything back to a board(s), or are the boards wired to banks of commandos for ease of use by others?

This is a normal post Depends...
But usually involves distros like this that provide 6x 16A feeds per socapex connector that are then split out to the relevant connectors, e.g. truecon, with each feed powering a row or column of video panels.

Oooo thats well interesting - never even considered the existance of proprietry connectors for such things, which is very dim of me. Thanks for the info and associated rabbit hole :)

Socapex Spiders ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH. Flash back to a time where I found one trod into the mud and much wailing and gnashing of teeth happened.
