ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Premier Shows is powered by two sources of electricity. One source of electrical power emanates from generators owned and operated by the carnival which power the 3 phase rides and the second source emanates from a direct connection into secondary high lines. The second procedure is very simple and takes approximately 45 minutes to make the connection splice. It is usually done by the electrical company serving your community. A simple phone call to the company headquarters describing your needs along with the date and place is usually more than sufficient. A technical description is as follows: The power truck is equipped with an elevating cross arm which elevates up to 22 feet above ground level complete with bells, fuse doors, and surge arrestors. Inside the power truck is a 100 KVA single phase 240 volt transformer with a 32 tap regulator an meter coupled with main disconnects and wire connections. The power truck accommodates either a 2400 or 7200 volt WYE or DELTA system.
The reason for this second source of power independent from the first source is basically for safety. It insures at some level continuous power to the carnival in case of a brown or black out and that the second source of power also provides the necessary energy for ice machines, freezers, showers, living quarters and the smaller rides when generators are not in operation.
SAFETY
At Premier Shows safety has always been foremost when developing policies. For people to truly enjoy the fun family atmosphere of our midway they must be able to set aside concerns about their safety while on the rides and throughout the midway.
Ride safety at Premier Shows ins ensured through: 1 Operator Training, 2. Daily Safety Checks, 3. Inspection by Certified Personnel and 4. Informing Public of Rider Responsibility.
1) Ride operators undergo extensive training which includes videos, manuals, and direct instruction. Each method stresses and reinforces customer safety.
2) All rides undergo a daily safety check in order to operate (SAMPLE). Ride operators are not allowed to seat riders until the check is completed and a written log is filled out.
3) A certified ride inspector is on duty at all times to periodically inspect all rides as well as to validate the daily checklists. The certified inspector has the authority to close any ride until safety concerns are satisfied.
4) Every effort will be made to inform the public of rider responsibility in safety matters. Rules will be clearly posted at each ride and at the ticket office and ride personnel will be encouraged to remind patrons of these rules. These rules are recommended by the ride manufacturer to ensure your safety.
Our commitment to safety has given us an exemplary record. We have never had an accident claim filed against us for rider injury. Indeed we have been the recipient of several awards for our safety record.
