This unit is Made In China

The100A-50KVA-8X120.20A-2X240.60A portable power distribution system is designed to enable operators to connect to 480V three phase primary voltage and step it down to 240/120V single phase to operate lights and equipment. On the primary size, operators can connect up to four 100-amp, 480V devices. On the secondary side, operators can connect up to eight 120V, 20-amp devices and two 60-amp, 220V devices. This versatile system enables operators to make the most of a single 480V, 3-phase connection via 25` line-in cord.

 

50 kVA transformer

Operation:

The 25` 4/3 SOOW line-in cord brings 480V three phase power to the 600-amp, 480V, 3-phase primary panel, which contains four 100-amp breakers protecting four 100-amp, 480V, 4100R7W pin and sleeve receptacles and one 125-amp breaker protecting the 50 KVA transformer. The NEMA 3R 50 KVA transformer converts 480V three phase power to 240/120V and passes the current to the secondary disconnect and panel. The secondary side of the transformer feeds a NEMA 3R 225-amp main breaker panel. This secondary panel contains eight 20-amp, 120V breakers protecting eight 120V, 20-amp, 5-20R duplex receptacles and two 60-amp, 220V breaker protecting two 60-amp, 360R6W receptacles. All receptacles are equipped with weatherproof covers.

 

Protective Construction

Unlike many portable power distribution boxes made of plastic and utilizing thin gauge, low grade metals in their construction, this unit is designed for serious use and is ruggedly constructed to withstand demanding conditions and heavy duty industrial applications. The transformer and load assembly is mounted on a 3/16" thick carbon steel mounting platform and the load center/distribution assembly is mounted to the standard 2" x 2" x 1/8" square carbon steel tubing frame, resulting in an extremely stable, durable and well protected power distribution platform. This model is equipped with forklift skid pockets, locking polyurethane casters, and a top located lifting eyelet which allows easy lifting with cable or chain hooks. This can be replaced for an additional cost with stainless steel, hot dip galvanized steel, or aluminum depending on the customer's needs. Larger units are available upon request and can be equipped with skids or trailer mounted.
