What does production kit really draw?
One step closer to climate resilience for live events.
Datasheets tell you the maximum. Shows run on far less. The Production Power Database is a professional reference that puts manufacturers' published power figures side by side with real, measured draw from shows, rehearsals and warehouse tests. It means the industry can size generators and grid connections to what kit actually uses: at startup, on standby, during the show and at full power.
Spec vs reality
Every piece of equipment gets its datasheet figures alongside measured draw at startup, standby, idle, typical show and full power, with a link to the source.
Rig calculator
Type your kit list, such as “10 x wash, 20 x LED tile”. You'll see the nameplate total next to the expected real draw, with amps per phase.
Verified and accountable

Why it matters
Adding up nameplate figures leads to oversized power supplies. That means bigger generators running half-empty, more fuel, more emissions and more cost. Right-sizing starts with real numbers, and nobody has published them in one place. Until now.
Manufacturers and suppliers: get your products listed from day one
We're inviting manufacturers, rental houses and suppliers to put their products and power data into the database before it launches.
- Listing is free. Your published specifications appear with a link to your own datasheet.
- Add your own test data. Typical, idle and standby figures are what production managers need, and you're best placed to provide them.
- Be the accurate source. When specifiers plan power, they'll be working from your numbers.
