Here are some facts and tips to help you save energy when planning your electrical service. If you have several devices and pieces of equipment spread throughout your booth, you may need to order a separate service for each.

Electrical code violations are unsafe, time consuming and costly to correct. So, please feel free to call us if you have any questions about the New York City codes. A couple of typical code violations are:

• Use of multiple attachment plugs, called "cube taps"
• Use of plugs and connectors which are commonly used in Europe and Asia

Be aware of labor charges you may incur. Charges are usually assessed for:

• All 208, 460 volt and overhead work
• Securing and removing service for booths with three or more separate 110 volt services
• Installing and dismantling exhibitor-owned lights (except 10x10 pop-up booths)
• Installing and removing communications cable between booths or under carpet
• Installing, operating and removing sound and light equipment

Labor is charged in half-hour increments. Please check your Electrical Request Form for straight and overtime rates. If the electrical service for your exhibit is complex and you are concerned about labor charges, call the Javits Show Electric Division at 212.216.2655. We'll be happy to give you a labor estimate.

You'll find everything you need to get your exhibit up and running. To put your show in service...

208 Volt Service — Service is available from floor boxes and other locations in all exhibit halls for amperages up to 60, single-phase, or 60 amps, three-phase. Prices are in increments of amperage. Higher amperage is available after being transformed from 460 volt service, using portable transformers. The Javits Center maintains an inventory of portable transformers which can be moved readily throughout exhibit halls.
