A generator alone is only half the solution. Without proper distribution, cables become trip hazards, circuits overload, and Fire Marshals or venue managers can shut down your event. Professional temporary power distribution solves these problems:

• Safe cable routing across pedestrian pathways with elevated yellow-jacket protectors or rubber mats
• Multiple outlet points via temporary power boxes so lighting, sound, catering, and AV do not share overloaded circuits
• Heavy-duty 50-amp cords that carry power the full distance from generator to load without voltage drop issues common with consumer extension cords
• Fire Marshal-required steel barricades around generators
• Optional on-site electrical technician for complex or high-stakes events
• Permit support through our electrical contractor for LADBS and local Fire Marshal requirements

This is the same distribution approach used on professional film sets, outdoor festivals, and large corporate activations across Southern California.

Everything below is available individually or as part of a complete generator + distribution package.

Temporary power boxes (often called spider boxes or distro boxes in the industry) take the high-amperage feed from a generator or main temporary power cord and break it into multiple usable circuits. Our temp power boxes work with the heavy-duty 100′ power cords to supply power safely across the event site. Ideal for lighting runs, catering stations, sound systems, and vendor booths that need more outlets than a single extension cord can provide.

100-foot heavy-duty temporary power cords with 50-amp cannon-type connectors. These are the workhorses that move power from the generator or house connection point to the temporary power box or primary load. Far more robust than consumer-grade extension cords and designed for temporary outdoor event use.

Yellow elevated jacket cable protectors (3′ sections) and rubber mat cable protectors (also available in longer runs) protect both the cables and your guests. Use them anywhere foot traffic crosses a power run — dance floor approaches, tent entrances, vendor aisles, and walkways. Highly visible yellow jackets are preferred by many venues and Fire Marshals; rubber mats offer a lower-profile option.

Fire Marshal-required fencing for generators. Our 7-foot steel barricades create the required safety perimeter around 35 kW and 60–70 kW quiet towable generators. Non-negotiable on most outdoor Los Angeles and Ventura County events that use generators.

For larger or more complex events, an electrical technician can remain on-site for the duration of the event. Useful when loads change during the day, when multiple generators are in use, or when the venue or client requires a dedicated tech.

Many temporary power setups in Los Angeles require permits through the Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) or local Fire Marshal approval. For a fee, our electrical contractor can assist with obtaining the required electrical permits. This is especially relevant for larger generators and more elaborate distribution layouts.

Rates from our published price list (subject to confirmation on quote; delivery is distance-based):

Generator packages typically bundle the generator + fuel + steel barricades + cable protectors + temporary power boxes & cords. Request a complete package quote for the most accurate total.

Cables are run and protected with yellow jackets or rubber mats wherever pedestrian traffic crosses. Temporary power boxes create multiple circuit points.

• Tented weddings and outdoor receptions needing lighting + DJ + catering power
• Corporate galas, brand activations, and product launches
• Festivals and multi-vendor outdoor events
• Film and TV basecamps and location shoots requiring quiet power + clean distribution
• School, church, and community events
• Any outdoor or temporary indoor space where house circuits are insufficient or inaccessible
