Mobile Electric Power Sources for Location Lighting
In the absence of conventional supplies, the problems of finding alternate electric power for location shooting are explored, together with the advantages and limitations of the various options available. Topics discussed include mobile electric power supplies, the different types of storage batteries and their characteristics, devices to convert ac to dc, and problems relating to the particular systems used. The article gives a basic description of the power sources needed to operate any style of lighting system, the kW capacity required, and the technical parameters needed to deliver power equal to that of commercial utility-company sources.
