Larson Electronics, a US-based company specializing in industrial lighting systems and temporary power distribution stations, released a portable power distribution unit with mil-spec receptacles for aerospace, military and marine use. The NEMA 3R-rated power distribution system is mounted on a cart and is equipped with portable features for seamless transportation around the work site.

The MPD-480-3P-112.5KVA-208.120-3X100A.MSP-3W4P is designed for extending power connections from 480V three-phase sources, such as generators or main power supplies. On the primary side, operators may bring 480V three-phase into a 200-amp 600V-rated three-phase disconnect, which is protected by three, 175-amp time delay fuses, using a 20-foot 6/4 SOOW cord with a 63-amp 480V pin and sleeve cord cap. The 112.5 KVA transformer converts 480V three phase into 208Y/120V three-phase power. On the secondary side, operators can access a 400-amp 208Y/120V three phase main lug only panel. This secondary panel contains three, 100-amp breakers protecting three, 100-amp 208Y/120V MIL-22992, Class L receptacles.

For protection in extreme environments, the receptacles on the secondary side are equipped with weatherproof covers. Mounted on a sturdy and portable cart, the power distribution station offers flexibility via numerous transportation options. The cart is constructed of carbon steel frame with a powder coat finish. Operators may opt to push the cart around from one location to another. Locking casters provide stability when the system is being used. Skid pockets and pick eyes allow hoisting via forklifts, cranes and other heavy-duty lifters.

Larson Electronics is a UL 1640 certified panel shop, which allows the company to build portable power distribution systems according to NFPA 70 standards. Businesses interested in streamlining compliance with safety guidelines may benefit from this temporary power distribution station. These power distribution units are recommended for deployment in industrial plants, remote work sites, exhibits, outdoor locations and events, MRO, repair and maintenance, construction sites and more.

The MPD-480-3P-112.5KVA-208.120-3X100A.MSP-3W4P can be customized to suit the needs and specifications of industrial projects. Customization includes cords (length, type and cord cap), voltage, phase (single or three), wiring configurations, panel types, breakers, receptacles, mounting systems, materials and more.
