I am installing a Super Highlight II using a 3000 watt bulb. The console is wired so that 3 phase power comes in to a breaker in the console. The output of the breaker on the console supplies the power to the switcher. Also, one of the legs supplies power to the projector motor, another leg supplies power to the CNA100 automation and Component Engineering LED power supply (x2 - analog and digital.) And, the third leg supplies the accessory outlets. We got this console prewired this way.

My question is, I need to tell the electrician how many amps we require from the 3 phase service. I am guessing a 3 phase 40 amp breaker with the appropriate sized wire would be ideal. Any suggestions?

Looks good to me; don't forget the ground and the neutral. Louis
