AC Power for AV Systems - Think Outside of the Box (Rack) - Project Green AV

A typical AV system has about 30 different components within the AV cabinet (rack). Each component provides some audio, video, or control functionality which allows them to function as a "system". The one thing common to just about all AV components - they need power.

Most AV racks have a combination of plug strips and multiple outlet strips for each of the AV components to "plug in".  That's a combination of line cords and "wall warts" which all need juice.

A single rack AV system will typically draw less than 15 amps and is typically protected by either a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker. For larger complex systems, where multiple racks are required, there would be a dedicated circuit per rack.
But let’s look outside the box (rack) - where do these circuits come from? You guessed it, some circuit breaker panel somewhere - and that’s the problem - these circuits breakers should be nearby and available in the event they need to be accessed.
