French term

380V TETRA 63A/Ph diff 300mA

French to English Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama performance specification
This is a description of the lighting specifications. I am not sure what TETRA refers to, nor am i sure about A/Ph or diff.

I am more sure that 300mA refers to milliamps, and V is volts.

This is from a list of things needed, which list includes the size of the performance space, how much help needed each day for set up, etc.

It for a performance artist who puts on a one man show with lots of equiptment and set up.

This phrase stands alone as is.

European nominal voltage is 400 V for a long time The 380V figure is antiquated (went together with 220 V single phase). The present standard is 400/230 V for a long time but people stick to (copy and paste) the old numbers., See IEC 60038.

He may be a one-man show, but he's sure using an awful lot of energy...

agree Tony M : Except rather than say 4-pole, I'd say '3-phase + N', as in this sort of context, it's quite important to specify it that way round (and I've worked for a long time in stage lighting!)
