OCCC Electrical Service for Exhibitors

Tips for Ordering Electrical Service at the OCCC

120 volts can be ordered in increments of 500 watts up to 2,000 watts.
To determine your power needs, look at the equipment name plate. Find voltage, amperage, watt and phase.

Example #1:	Computer 120 volts x 2.5 amps = 300 watts Monitor 120 volts x 1.8 amps = 216 watts Using the above example, you will need to order a 1,000-watt outlet plus a multi-strip.*
Example #2:	If you have 10 - 100 watt/120 volt lights wired together, you will have 10x100 watt = 1,000 watts. Using the above example, you will need to order a 1,000-watt outlet plus a multi-strip.*
Example #3:	Electric motor with 120 volts 1.5 hp 120 v x 746 watts = 1,119 watts Using the above example, you will need to order a 1,500-watt outlet plus a multi-strip.*
* All power is terminated in a single outlet.
