Elation EVHD5.9: 5.95 mm pitch, 500 by 500 mm cabinet.
Cabinet geometry, weight, and power for the Elation EVHD5.9, plus a calculator that turns a target wall size into cabinet counts, resolution, weight, and circuit loading.
Vendor supplied specs. Indoor EVHD 5.9 preset. Verify against the manufacturer cut sheet before ordering.
Pixel pitch 5.95 mm, 7,056 pixels per cabinet at 84 by 84
Cabinet 500 by 500 mm (1.64 by 1.64 ft)
8.5 kg (18.7 lb) per cabinet, about 34 kg per square metre
125 W peak per cabinet, 50 W average, about 500 W per square metre at peak
15 cabinets per 20A 120V circuit, 23 per 16A 230V circuit, at peak draw
The Elation EVHD5.9 is indoor 5.95 mm pitch LED with a 500 by 500 mm cabinet carrying 84 by 84 pixels. Each cabinet weighs 8.5 kg (18.7 lb) and draws up to 125 W.
Those four numbers drive everything else on a build: how many cabinets reach your target size, what the wall weighs on the rigging, how many circuits the distro needs, and what resolution the processor has to feed.
Pixel pitch: 5.95 mm
Cabinet resolution: 84 by 84 (7,056 pixels)
Cabinet size: 500 by 500 mm
Brightness: 1200 nits
Refresh rate: 3840 Hz
IP rating: IP20
Typical processor platform: Novastar
Power and circuits for the EVHD5.9
At the 125 W peak figure, one 20A 120V circuit carries 15 cabinets and one 16A 230V circuit carries 23. Both numbers apply the 80 percent continuous load derate (NEC 210.20, IEC 60364), which is the same maths WireFlow uses when it sizes a real wall.
Size the distro on peak, not average. Average draw of 50 W tells you what the wall costs to run over a show; peak is what trips a breaker during a white flash.
Peak per cabinet: 125 W
Average per cabinet: 50 W
Cabinets per 20A 120V circuit: 15
Cabinets per 16A 230V circuit: 23
Input voltage: 110 to 220 V at 50/60 Hz
Worked example: a 4 by 3 wall
12 Elation EVHD5.9 cabinets in a 4 wide by 3 high grid make a wall 2 by 1.5 m (6.56 by 4.92 ft) at 336 by 252 pixels.
That wall weighs about 102 kg before rigging hardware and draws up to 1,500 W, which needs 1 circuit at 20A 120V or 1 at 16A 230V.
Wall size: 2 by 1.5 m
Resolution: 336 by 252 pixels
Weight: about 102 kg
Peak draw: 1,500 W
Circuits: 1 at 20A 120V, 1 at 16A 230V
Build this wall in WireFlow
The calculator above sizes a wall to your target dimensions with this panel's real cabinet geometry, then reports cabinet count, resolution, weight, and circuits. From there WireFlow can drop the finished wall straight into a diagram, already wired to its processors, and the cable schedule and power report update with it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the pixel pitch of the Elation EVHD5.9?
5.95 mm. Each 500 by 500 mm cabinet carries 84 by 84 pixels, or 7,056 in total.
How much power does the Elation EVHD5.9 draw?
Up to 125 W per cabinet at peak, averaging around 50 W in normal content. That works out to roughly 500 W per square metre at peak. Size distro on the peak figure.
How many EVHD5.9 cabinets fit on one circuit?
15 on a 20A 120V circuit and 23 on a 16A 230V circuit, both at peak draw with the standard 80 percent continuous load derate applied.
How much does the Elation EVHD5.9 weigh?
8.5 kg (18.7 lb) per cabinet, which is about 34 kg per square metre of wall. A 4 by 3 wall of them comes to roughly 102 kg before rigging hardware.
Are these Elation specs exact?
Vendor supplied specs. Indoor EVHD 5.9 preset. Verify against the manufacturer cut sheet before ordering.
Can I design a wall with this panel in WireFlow?
Yes. Pick this panel, give it a target size, and WireFlow works out the cabinet grid, pixel map, weight, and power per circuit, then places the wall into your diagram already wired to its processors. Free to start with three diagrams and no card.
