[SML] L21-30 power supply

[Patrick McCreary]

Tim -
It seems to me it will work just fine for you. Assuming the breakers 
that feed it in the panel are ganged, there should be no problem. Since 
it's being fed with 2-phase power, you'll get somewhere near 60 Amps out 
of it for use on stage (30 Amps per leg.) If you decide to extend it 
further away from the breaker panel, (and I wouldn't go more than 25 - 
30 feet,) make sure you use the right gauge of Type SO (NOT SJ) cable 
and good (Hubbell) connectors, properly installed. Off the top of my 
head, 10/4 SO or SOW.
