Power Distribution Systems
Safe, reliable on-set power for film and TV production in Belgium.
Here is how this works in practice. Power distribution systems safely route electrical today's from power packs or mains sources to lighting, camera, and production gear across a set. Pro distro boxes, cable runs, and breaker panels make sure balanced loads, proper grounding, and safe power delivery to each department.
Here is the short of it. We give power distribution systems configured for your production's electrical needs and set layout. Our team sets up with your gaffer and best boy to make sure the right capacity, cable lengths, and safety gear are in place for each location on your schedule.

Safe Operation
On Location
Power distribution for film in Belgium runs on the EU-standard 230V mains, with distro, generators and tie-ins handled by licensed Belgian electricians across locations from city-centre venues to the remote Ardennes.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We give power distribution systems configured for your production's electrical needs and set layout, setting up with your gaffer and best boy on capacity, cable lengths and safety gear for each location on the schedule. Our team supplies power packs, main and sub-distribution boxes, feeder runs, lunchboxes and load-management gear, all PAT tested and well rated. Belgium's deep gear-rental market, concentrated in Brussels and across Flanders and Wallonia and sustained by the scale of Tax Shelter-funded service production, keeps distribution inventory close to most locations. The compact geography means gear reaches Ghent, Antwerp or the Ardennes within a couple of hours, and for large power packs or pro distribution not held locally, kit moves freely by road from France, the Netherlands and Germany under EU single-market rules.
Here is how the picture comes together. Belgium runs on EU-standard 230V at 50Hz. Our team works with licensed Belgian electricians who handle distribution to local code, including tie-ins to venue power where right. Location type drives the plan: powering a shoot inside Bruges' medieval buildings or a Brussels Art Nouveau interior brings heritage constraints, so we route cabling without damage and set up with venue tech staff, while remote exteriors in the Ardennes call for full power packs solutions with fuel management and noise mitigation.
Here is how that works. Belgium's temperate maritime climate, mild but often wet, means distribution gear needs weather protection and proper RCD coverage in damp conditions, and cable ramps and management matter on rain-soaked ground. For non-EU shoots, distribution gear clears through Belgian customs on ATA Carnets, with Brussels Airport and Liege Airport as the main freight gateways.
FAQ
Power Distribution Expertise
What generator sizes do you provide?
We supply power packs from 20kVA to 500kVA including super-silent units for sound-sensitive shoots. Multi-power packs setups for larger power needs. Battery hybrid systems and tow plant units for many location needs.
How do you calculate power requirements?
We perform detailed load calculations based on your lighting package, camera and DIT needs, video village, and all other electrical needs. We factor in startup loads and give appropriate headroom for safe, reliable operation.
Can you provide power at historic locations?
Here is the breakdown. Yes, we specialize in powering shoots at Belgium's historic locations including historic estates, churches, and covered sites. We set up with venue needs, give appropriate cabling without damage, and make sure compliance with preservation guidelines.
Do you handle tie-ins to venue power?
We set up tie-ins to venue electrical systems where appropriate, working with licensed Belgian electricians and venue tech staff. We check ready power, arrange short-term connections, and make sure safe disconnection after your shoot.
What about power for remote locations?
For remote exteriors without mains power, we give complete power packs solutions including fuel management, noise mitigation, and multi-day operation. We plan logistics to make sure uninterrupted power across your shoot.
How do you ensure electrical safety on set?
All gear is PAT tested and well rated. We use RCD protection across, employ licensed electricians, and follow Belgian electrical safety rules. Detailed records and safety briefings make sure crew awareness.
