RE: [APML] ST4 power requirements???

Hey Scott,

Kendrick has the amp draw for each of their dewheaters listed on their
site. I used it when I was running calculations for the same thing you
are. Most of the smaller heaters have a pretty reasonable power draw
(IIRC). Once you get up to SCT size (8" and over, or
thereabouts)though, the draw gets quite large. Check it out for your
particular heaters and see what you come up with.

Good luck on your shoot.

Alan
