the 63/1 is much more stable.


Does 63/1 mean 63 amp single phase?

There is a socket on the other side of the wall, have you used this socket?





Does anyone know if this is a 32amp socket or is it the a 63amp one.

All of the sockets you have shown are 32 from memory. And all about as useful as a chocolate frying pan.
There is a solid 63/1 on the other side of the room. But I wouldn't advise running heavy mains across the room unless you are going to do it safely.

It's very easy to identify the size of a socket, it's generally got it wrote on it somewhere or just measure the actual size of it and then google size of a 32a ceeform etc.

Both of the photos show 32A single phase supplies and are on the back wall facing the crowd, i.e. upstage left and right. Plenty of normal size freeparty rigs etc pass through the swan and use them fine.

There is a 63A single phase socket on the far wall but this is neither properly MCB nor RCD protected (reggae boy special) You'll want an inline RCBO distro straight into it for safety and then 20M of cable to get to stage end but only need bother if you need "proper power" (i'd suggest not)

Thanks for all the help. I have decided to run of the right hand 32amp Socket. I not going to be running a silly size rig. Will be plugging in about 14Kw of Class D, made up of 3 powersofts and one Vector, but will not be runnning them flat out.
