What power supply do I need for event electrical setups?
Power requirements for events vary widely, and most setups need more than standard 10A household outlets. Food trucks typically need dedicated circuits due to coffee machines, fryers and refrigeration, often calling for multiple 15A circuits. Cool rooms range from small trailer units that run on 10A to 15A power through to large container cool rooms that require 3-phase power. Ready Power’s marquee air conditioning units operate on 20A single-phase, while larger packaged air conditioning units used at major events may need 32A to 125A 3-phase supplies. Small stages and basic audio systems can run on standard outlets, but larger stages with LED screens and professional PA systems usually require multiple 32A 3-phase or power lock connections. Bars vary too; small bar setups may only need a few 10A outlets, while bigger bars with multiple fridges, lighting and POS systems often need a distribution board and several circuits. Site infrastructure such as basic portable toilets usually runs on standard power, but larger toilet blocks with pumps often need 3-phase. Because every event has different electrical demands, the simplest way to get the right event power setup is to send us your supplier list so we can calculate the load, provide expert advice and design a safe, efficient power plan for your event.

Can you supply generators if the venue has no power?
Yes. We supply diesel generators for everything from small weddings to large festivals. We also provide distribution boards, cabling, fuel management and on-site refuelling support.
+
Do you work directly with other suppliers such as marquee, lighting and audio companies?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with marquee installers, lighting technicians, audio companies, caterers and event planners to ensure a safe and efficient electrical setup.
+
Can you design the entire electrical layout for my event?
Absolutely. We can design full electrical layouts including power distribution, cable runs, lighting requirements and safety zones. This helps ensure your event meets Australian standards and avoids overloading circuits.
+
Do you provide emergency support during the event?
Yes. We offer on-call or on-site standby support for events that require guaranteed uptime. This ensures quick response for equipment resets, overload issues or unexpected power demands.
+
Are your electrical setups compliant with Australian standards?
Yes. All equipment is tested and tagged, and we follow AS/NZS 3002 (shows, carnivals & events) and AS/NZS 3012 (construction & demolition sites). Safety is always our top priority.
+
How early should I book electrical services for an event?
We recommend booking 2–6 weeks ahead for weddings and corporate events, and 6–12 weeks ahead for festivals or multi-day builds. Last-minute bookings are possible depending on stock availability.
+
Can you power food vans, cool rooms and catering equipment?
Yes. We regularly power food vans, cold rooms, fridges, freezers, coffee machines and heavy kitchen equipment. Just send us a list of appliances and we will calculate the required load.
