KEMP, Texas, Dec. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Larson Electronics, a Texas-based company with over 40 years of experience spearheading the industrial lighting and power equipment sectors, announced the release of a portable power distribution substation that allows operators to power 240V and 120V equipment from a single system using converted 480V. This unit is stainless steel and NEMA 4X rated and is used to tap safely into and distribute power from generators and direct grid power.

This unit provides operators the ability to safely tap into and distribute 480V power from a variety of sources including generators and direct grid power. The primary/secondary panels, transformer and receptacles are NEMA 4X rated. Panels and transformer are stainless steel. On the primary side, operators connect three-phase 480V line-in power via one set of E1017/E1016 male panel cam-lock inputs (brown, orange, yellow, green) to twelve L16-30R and two sets of female E1015 and E1016 cam-locks for 480V equipment. On the secondary side, operators connect to eight L14-30R for 240V equipment and to two 5-20R receptacles for 120V equipment. All receptacles are equipped with weatherproof covers.

The MGS-CMLK-480.3P-50KVA-120.240V.1P-MOD1 durable portable power distribution substation comes with a set of 690-amp, 600V-rated E1017 male panel cam-locks and one 400-amp, 600V-rated E1016 male panel cam-lock transferring 480V three-phase power to a 400-amp, three-phase primary/main circuit breaker. This main panel has 12, 30-amp, 3-pole, 480V breakers that protect another 12, 30-amp, 480V L16-30R N4X receptacles.

This unit’s secondary panel features a NEMA 4X stainless-steel 200-amp, 120/240V single-phase main circuit breaker. This panel features eight, 30-amp, 2-pole, 250V breakers that protect eight, 30-amp, 125/250V L14-30R N4X receptacles as well as two, 20-amp, 1-pole 125V GFCI breakers that protect two, 20-amp, 125V 5-20R N4X receptacles.
