Mains supply to space only sites and build up power is not included and must be ordered prior to the exhibition. Orders will not be processed until payment is received.
If you require power during the build-up, please order this through GES as they are the ones permitted to carry out electrical installations.
When completing the Electrical Order Form show the location of the items clearly on the grid plan, if you haven’t submitted a grid plan your electrics will be placed at the discretion of the electricians, if you require these to be moved you will be charged.
• Early bird deadline for exhibitor orders (all GES services) – 16th December 2023
• Cut-off date for exhibitor orders (all GES services) – 23rd December 2023
Orders placed after 23rd December 2023 will be processed onsite during build up.
Exhibitors installing their own power connections to their displays for general lighting and power sockets must ensure that:
• The main cable is connected to a suitable type distribution box
• The main switch should be an ELCB
• All wire joints are in connectors and concealed in junction boxes. No twisted wire joints are permitted
• All wires in exposed areas are protected in PVC trunking. Running wires under the carpet or across open areas is not permitted.
If the power supply ordered is to be connected to machines and equipment exhibitors must ensure that:
• A suitable type of isolator or ELCB is provided between the main cable and the cable from the machine / equipment
• If the machine / equipment has its own isolator, then the main cable can be directly connected to it
Exhibitors installing their own power connections to their displays must also ensure such installations conform to the IEE Regulations and will be subject to inspection and approval by the official electrical contractor before connections to the mains supply.
The Organisers’ reserve the right to disconnect any installation that, in their opinion, is dangerous or likely to cause annoyance to visitors or other exhibitors.
The standard supplies of electrical current available in the exhibition hall are:
- Single phase 220 volts 50Hz.
- Three phase 415 volts 50Hz
The provision of a single phase mains supply terminal by suitable switchgear is included only in the shell scheme contract. Three phase supplies and 24-hour connection will be an extra charge and can be ordered prior to build up.
General lighting is provided in the hall but is not powerful enough to provide adequate stand illumination. Exhibitors are advised that specific illumination of their stands is considered essential to achieve an effective display. For additional lighting please order this through GES.
Please note that electrics to stands are switched on 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after the exhibition, please contact the official contractor Global Experience Specialists (GES) to arrange 24-hour power, should you need it.
When using the GES ordering website you will need to create an account directly with them.
