Running Attractions On Pitches With No Power Supply

The Honest Option Pedal Drive

The animal race tracks in this catalogue are published with the working way listed as pedal bike. The riders drive the cars. There is no motor, no control panel and no supply requirement, which makes them the only attraction here that genuinely works on a bare grass field.

The Single-Phase Middle Ground

Several rides are published at 220V: the 6 Kids Macaron Carousel at 500W, the 6 Riders Christmas Carousel at 1600W, the bungee trampolines at 220V. A domestic-grade supply or a small generator covers these. They are the practical choice for farm shops, retail units and village pitches.

Three-Phase Machines Need Planning Not Optimism

The Energy Storm at 40kW, the Top Spin at 30kW and the Christmas Tree at 15KW are 380V three-phase machines. On a pitch without three-phase they require a generator sized with headroom for starting current, plus fuel, plus a plan for the noise. Price that in before you buy the ride.

Audit Your Circuit Once Then Buy Against It

List every pitch you work and record what supply each one has. Buy the fleet against that list. It is a one-afternoon exercise that prevents a five-figure mistake.

Lighting Draws Less Than You Think Drives Draw More

The published kW figures are dominated by the drive, not the decorative lighting. When you size a generator, size it against the drive's starting load.
