Display & Safety Topics

Electrical Regulations at the Intel ISEF:

  • Finalists requiring 120 or 220 Volt A.C. electrical circuits must provide a UL–listed 3–wire extension cord which is appropriate for the load and equipment.
  • Electrical power supplied to projects and, therefore, the maximums allowed for projects is 120 or 220 Volt, A.C., single phase, 60 cycle. Maximum circuit amperage/wattage available is determined by the electrical circuit capacities of the exhibit hall and may be adjusted on-site by the Display and Safety Committee. For all electrical regulations, "120 volt A.C." or "220 volt A.C." is intended to encompass the corresponding range of voltage as supplied by the facility in which the Intel ISEF is being held.
  • Any lighting that generates considerable and excessive amounts of heat (high-intensity lamps, certain halogen lights, etc.) must be turned off when the Finalist is not present.
