Power Distribution Systems
Safe, reliable on-set power for film and TV production in Korea.
Power distribution systems safely route electrical current from generators or mains sources to lighting, camera, and production equipment across a set. Professional distro boxes, cable runs, and breaker panels ensure balanced loads, proper grounding, and safe power delivery to every department.
We provide power distribution systems configured for your production's electrical requirements and set layout. Our team coordinates with your gaffer and best boy to ensure the right capacity, cable lengths, and safety equipment are in place for every location on your schedule.

On Location
Compliant power distribution across Korean locations
Here is how this works in practice. Power distribution on a Korean set has to reconcile two realities: the KEPCO grid runs 220V at 60Hz with trusted mains capacity in built-up districts like Gangnam, Yeouido and central Busan, while shoots at Joseon palaces, Buddhist temple complexes and remote coastal locations along the Donghae coast frequently need full generator support and careful coordination with venue and preservation authorities.
Here is the short of it. Our distribution packages cover main distro boxes, sub-distribution units, lunchboxes, stage-pin systems and the adapter inventory needed to bridge between Korean and global gear standards. Licensed Korean electricians size feeders, balance phases and document every tie-in so the gaffer's load plan translates safely into the panel layout the AD teams expects.
Here is the breakdown. Generator capacity scales from 20kVA portable units suited to a single-camera commercial in Hongdae through 500kVA tow plants positioned outside a feature unit's lighting truck on the perimeter of a Seoraksan exterior. Super-silent and battery-hybrid options cover sound-sensitive dialogue work,. The list includes hanok interior shoots in Bukchon where ambient noise has to stay below conversational level.
Cable runs are protected with ramps for crew safety on the pedestrianised streets of Insadong and Samcheong-dong. Every package travels with RCD protection, full PAT-tested distribution and the safety records that MOLIT and KOSHA expect for productions filming under permit. Our crews stay on call to manage fuel logistics, reroute cable around late location additions and swap in backup units the same shooting day if a primary genset shows fault.
FAQ
Power Distribution Expertise
What generator sizes do you provide?
We supply generators from 20kVA to 500kVA including super-silent units for sound-sensitive shoots. Multi-generator setups for larger power requirements. Battery hybrid systems and tow plant units for various location needs.
How do you calculate power requirements?
We perform detailed load calculations based on your lighting package, camera and DIT requirements, video village, and all other electrical needs. We factor in startup loads and provide appropriate headroom for safe, reliable operation.
Can you provide power at historic locations?
Yes, we specialize in powering shoots at South Korea's historic locations including historic palaces and temples, churches, and protected sites. We coordinate with venue requirements, provide appropriate cabling without damage, and ensure compliance with preservation guidelines.
Do you handle tie-ins to venue power?
We coordinate tie-ins to venue electrical systems where appropriate, working with licensed Korean electricians and venue technical staff. We assess available power, arrange temporary connections, and ensure safe disconnection after your shoot.
What about power for remote locations?
For remote exteriors without mains power, we provide complete generator solutions including fuel management, noise mitigation, and multi-day operation. We plan logistics to ensure uninterrupted power throughout your shoot.
How do you ensure electrical safety on set?
All equipment is PAT tested and properly rated. We use RCD protection throughout, employ licensed electricians, and follow Korean electrical safety regulations. Detailed documentation and safety briefings ensure crew awareness.
