This method of connection allows for easy, safe connection of multiple 1-phase loads through insulated, GCFI protected outlets. At Stowers, we keep the most commonly used distribution gear in our inventory for rent with our portable generators or with your power source. |
| HOW DO I SET UP DISTRIBUTION GEAR AT MY SITE? A typical electrical distribution setup is shown in the diagram below. In this example, a generator set delivers 120/208VAC three-phase power into a three-phase distribution breakout box. The distribution breakout box splits the three-phase power to two distribution boxes, from which the power is split into 120VAC single-phase voltage outlets spaced along “quad stringers” to provide power to your 120VAC equipment. Scrolll down to see the legend below this diagram, which identifies each of the oomponents of the system in this example. TYPICAL DISTRIBUTION GEAR SYSTEM LEGEND The diagram above is an example of a typical electrical distribution setup. Each number in teh diagram corresponds to a number in the legend below that describes the system components. Each component is protected by a breaker. When setting up such a system, remember to be aware of ampacity (maximum allowable amp draw) of each component and receptacle in the system. Also, cable ramps (not pictured) should be used to protect cables that cross pedestrian walkways.
APPLICATIONS FOR ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION GEAR Electrical distribution gear can be used virtually anywhere that multiple 120VAC, single-phase power is needed, including emergency triage situations, entertainment events, and construction sites.
