250 kVA ONAN Type ( Oil cooled ) 11000V/433V, delta/star grounded aluminum wound transformer would work.

Oh, so it's a Theatre? OK. The correct approach is to hire someone who can carry out the detailed electrical design using local electrical standards. The job role is Electrical Engineer. In the UK, that individual would use British Standard 7671 to complete the design.

The design of electrical wiring of the projector room will depend on the size and capacity of the projector and amplifier and sound system . Normally the manufacturer always give the requirements and layout. The Sound system cable and connectors are provided by the Amplifier supplier and need to be installed as per their design of the speaker location in the theater. Any qualified electrician can do this job . This is not a proper forum where you can get guidence as the requirement depend on suppliers requirement and the electrical safety rules of the contry where you want to install the equipment.

It probably wants an overhead power line, rather than a socket.

Pavan,

"...Pl share with me..."

So you want a free copy of someone else's work so that you can sell it to your client for a fee?! I guess you weren't in class when ethics was discussed, and asked someone to take the quiz for you...Shooo, go away, find a different forum to post in...

Suggest you try here: Brick making. I don't think you're ready for design work.

There are so many things you haven't told us.

50W watt is more than ample in a 60 seater school / college type environment for an audio visual type presentation. Your average 13A UK socket is good for about 3000W so allowing for losses in the equipment that would give you a 1500W set up.

It is usual to trip the stage sockets from the fire alarm system. Stage sockets should have their own RCDs. There are a lot of electrical implications but also direction from insurance companies. Have you thought about noise limiting to cut out the stage sockets. Bet your local council have!! A lot of it can be found in a copy of Mr Slacks regulations but you need to be looking to many other places including the local authoritiy and its by laws. Seemingly you don't know the right questions to ask. Based on this its time to call in an expert.

A copy of an edition of the regulations like Mr Slacks can be purchased from most reputable book shops.

Yes, there are so many things the OP has not informed us that is critical to know. Will this be only a movie theater or will live stage productions also be performed? What about the building HVAC, concession stand, lighting and controls, people movers (escalator, elevator), stage set production (the shop in the basement), safety and advertising lighting. We don't even have a hint where this theater will reside to know which power distribution grid and voltages will be available.

Do you have an inventory of the equipment that will be installed and the power requirements of each piece yet?
