Power Distribution Systems

Here is how this works in practice. Power distribution in Ireland routes through Filmgear Ireland Dublin as the dedicated electrical and lighting house (the deepest Wacker Neuson 50, 100, and 150 kVA tow-behind generator inventory plus full Multiquip Whisperwatt MQ-Power range used across Banshees of Inisherin. Foundation Apple TV+, and Vikings Ashford). TVM Ireland Dublin (cross-discipline electrical cage stocking Honda EU2200i and EU7000is silent portable generators for handheld camera-cart power).

Here is the short of it. Pyramid Camera Dublin (sub-distribution, lunchbox, and quad-box stock for Normal People HBO and The Quiet Girl 2022 Oscar-nominated), and Hammer Hill Studios Belfast (Game of Thrones eight-season distro and feeder cable inventory through Titanic Studios). We supply complete distribution chains from primary generator through Bates connectors, Socapex feeder cable, 32A and 63A CEEform, and full RCD-protected lunchbox stage-pin distribution. Ireland 230V/50Hz European voltage runs UK plug-and-play; US 120V gear needs step-down transformers set up through Filmgear and TVM.

Here is the breakdown. Atlantic maritime climate weatherproofing dictates IP-rated distro housings, weatherproof feeder cable runs with cable ramps, and silent-running generator placement for the wet Atlantic frontal weather October through March across the Wild Atlantic Way, Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, and Donegal Slieve League. Heritage zone permits at Skellig Michael UNESCO, Giant's Causeway UNESCO, Newgrange, and Brú na Bóinne dictate silent generator positioning (Honda EU7000is and Multiquip Whisperwatt below 65 dB at 7m). Pre-approved cable runs with no soil disturbance, and OPW or National Monuments sign-off on staging.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. When extra 150 kVA or larger generators aren't held in Dublin we cross-border to ARRI Rental London or Pinewood London under the Common Travel Area frictionless border (no carnet for UK gear). All cable runs are PAT-tested and RCD-protected to Irish IS 10101 electrical rules, with licensed Irish electricians on every distro tie-in.
