MAR Power Distribution System
LEX Products
1 – 200 Amp 3 phase pagoda to 50 amp locking receptacles (DB200NP-A6S-S3)

6 - 50 Amp Pagoda Jr. to GFCI Duplex Receptacles (DB-50NF-BQQ-S3)

The 200-Amp feed for some events comes from a rented 65Kw Generator
(This is oversized for our application but it works exceptionally well). We typically rent the generators from a company called On-Site Energy. MAR purchased the power distribution system and the appropriate cables. I would get in contact with a qualified electrician to ensure the proper calculations are met…. (I am not an electrician, I have set-up the system twice and it has worked well for our events).
Come events are unable to provide a single 200-Amp feed, and there have been some customization(s) to this distribution system dependent on the event and what their supply line has capability of. It typically has cost between $1400 - $2000 to rent the generator for the weekend.

Of course you will also need the appropriate number of extension cords to run to each teams pits...

This is an expensive / but reliable system for which MAR made a significant investment. However, it was important to the events committee that we had enough power to ensure that all teams had the "required" amount of power.
