If something is used for editing and production, then it goes in circuit 3 (in the control room). Stuff for live shows goes on circuit 4 (in the studio), or circuits 1 and 2 in the control room. The only things that should be on permanent power are things that really need to be left on 24hrs a day, and the PCs that don't like being switched off suddenly.

The current structure of 3 control room rings was then put in, because trying to put 18 Cub monitors onto a single circuit breaker would have tripped it straight back out on inrush current.

The studio is similar, with a single switched (by the door) ring main and the original 24hr sockets. The slight complication is that there aren't switched sockets in all the places there need to be, so the monitors on top of the cupboard, transfer rack, and other stuff over that side of the studio sit on permanent power and have to be turned off by hand.

The techie room is just on the original 24hr sockets, so doesn't get an RCD. This means anything being tested in there, or any power tools, need to use a plug-in RCD.

This is an altered version of the information on the old YSTV website (I think Control Room Amp is now on cct 3, not permanent power, I'm not certain that it's correct.  [[User:Malcolm.chambers|Malcolm.chambers]] 04:05, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
