There have been some discussions of shore power lately, including the use of 3-phase instead of the more common split phase 240/120v sources. I thought the shore power for this rig might be interesting to conjecture about. Maybe for the Big Rig site of the future?
This one is 480v 3-phase and delivers about 45,000 watts of power into the rig. How's that for an "all-electric" rig? The power plug is round and several inches in diameter, and the power cable is about 3" in diameter. Why so much? It's a portable PET Scan unit that a local cancer treatment group moves around to its several locations throughout central Florida. Each location has a power pedestal installed in its parking area so the rig can hook up.
