• Generator Noise on Sound-Sensitive Sets

    Combustion generators introduce low-frequency hum that interferes with dialogue recording and on-set communication.

  • Flicker Risk During High-Speed Shooting

    Voltage instability can create flicker artifacts when operating high-frame-rate lighting setups.

  • Long Cable Runs & Voltage Drop

    Remote generators require extensive cable routing that complicates set movement and creates power instability.

  • Mobile Production Demands

    Modern productions require rapidly deployable power for mobile carts, remote locations, and temporary staging environments.

Stable Power for High-Speed Cinematography

Professional digital cinema systems require stable waveform delivery to prevent:

  • lighting flicker
  • ballast instability
  • sensor interference
  • audio contamination
  • voltage-sensitive shutdowns

WEGREEN systems provide:

  • pure sine wave output
  • low THD power delivery
  • stable voltage regulation
  • clean audio-safe operation
Production System Load Type Running Load Startup Behavior
ARRI Lighting Ballast Inductive Load 1800W High Inrush Strike
LED Panel Array Continuous Load 600W Low
DIT Cart Sensitive Electronics 900W Stable
Video Village Mixed Electronics 500W Low

Studio-Grade Acoustic Performance

Traditional generators often require:

  • long cable runs
  • sound blankets
  • remote staging

to reduce acoustic contamination.

WEGREEN systems operate below 45dB

enabling placement directly on set for:

  • dialogue scenes
  • documentary production
  • residential night shoots
  • sound-stage workflows

On-Set Power & Production FAQ

Q: Does an ARRI ALEXA draw a lot of power, and will it run off 12V?

A: Professional cameras like the ALEXA 35 or Mini are power-hungry and sensitive to voltage drops. WEGREEN provides a pure sine wave 100% flicker-free output that supports high-draw HMI lights and camera rigs, ensuring no interference or damage to expensive 24V or 12V systems.

Q: What is the quietest power supply for film production on location?

A: Lithium systems are the silent gold standard. WEGREEN operates at under 45dB, meaning you can place the power source directly on the set next to the microphones, eliminating the need for 100ft extension cords and the voltage drop issues associated with them.

Q: Can I run high-wattage HMI lights like the ARRI M18 off-grid?

A: Yes. An ARRI M18 draws approximately 1800W. WEGREEN 3000W continuous output handles this with ease, while the 27kW surge manages the initial strike of the ballast without flickering or protection-trips.

Q: Is the system dual-voltage for international film productions?

A: We offer models specifically configured for 100V/120V and 230V/240V. The pure sine wave output ensures that sensitive digital cinema sensors and DIT carts receive cleaner power than they would from a standard wall outlet.

Q: Why is a battery better than a silent diesel generator for sound recording?

A: Silent diesel generators still produce 55dB to 65dB of low-frequency hum. WEGREEN operates at under 45dB, which is virtually silent, allowing the Sound Mixer to capture clean tracks even with the power source hidden just behind a lighting stand.
