Portable 3 Phase Power Supporting Event Structure Installation

Event production environments demand fast, reliable, and flexible power—especially when working with temporary structures such as stage roofs and rigging systems. Traditionally, these operations rely on diesel generators or pre-installed grid connections, both of which can introduce delays, logistical complexity, and environmental concerns.

A leading event production company in the UK, already familiar with portable battery systems through previous deployments of BP360G units, sought a more powerful solution to support three-phase applications on-site. Their objective was clear: eliminate dependency on generators while maintaining the performance required for heavy-duty lifting equipment.

To achieve this, the team upgraded to the BP1500A system—enabling portable 3 phase power to be deployed instantly, without external infrastructure.

Test Approach: From Controlled Setup to Live Event

To fully evaluate performance, the team conducted testing in two stages: a controlled environment and a real-world event deployment.

Controlled Testing at Facility

Initial testing took place at the company’s facility, where the BP1500A system was used to power six chain hoist motors.

• Equipment: 6 × chain hoists
• Rated Power: 1 kW per unit
• Total Load: 6 kW

The system delivered stable and consistent output, lifting structural loads smoothly without interruption. This confirmed that the battery system could reliably support synchronized lifting operations typically powered by conventional three-phase sources.

Live Event Deployment

The second phase involved a live event setup, where the system was used as the primary power source for assembling a large stage roof structure.

The structure required coordinated lifting using six hoists to raise truss systems and coverings into position.

• Active lifting time: approximately 8–12 minutes
• Total setup duration: approximately 45 minutes

The initial lift was completed within minutes, followed by controlled adjustments to ensure alignment, safety, and structural integrity.

Despite the demanding nature of the application, the total energy consumption remained remarkably low—using only approximately 2–4% of the available battery capacity.

Performance Insights

The results demonstrate that high-demand, short-duration lifting tasks are particularly well-suited to battery-based systems.

Key observations included:

• Immediate power availability without setup delays
• Stable three-phase output throughout lifting operations
• Minimal energy consumption relative to total capacity
• Reliable performance across both test and live environments

 Operational Advantages on Event Sites

By deploying generator alternative for events, the production team was able to significantly streamline their workflow.

Key benefits included:

• No waiting for grid connection or external power supply
• Elimination of generator noise during setup
• Reduced cabling across complex event sites
• Greater flexibility in positioning and sequencing installation

Additionally, once lifting operations were complete, the system could be redeployed to power other equipment—maximizing overall utilisation.

A Flexible and Scalable Power Solution

The successful deployment highlights the growing role of battery systems in event production, particularly for applications requiring mobility and rapid setup.
