Larson Electronics Hazardous-location Power-distribution System

Oct. 16, 2017

The hazardous-location power-distribution system is designed to power three-phase 480V and 120V equipment within Class I, Division 2 rated areas, such as shipyards, industrial plants and construction sites.

The P-MPD-480.3P-15KVA-2X480.60-6X120.20 distribution system’s 480V line-in power connects on the primary side to two 60-amp 480V FSQC5640 receptacles and six, 20-amp, 120V explosion-proof receptacles connect to 120V equipment on the secondary side. All connections between the disconnect and transformer, and the transformer and secondary panel, consist of flexible heavy-duty SOOW cords to protect against wet, oily conditions. The receptacles are mounted to an aluminum back panel for easy access and equipped with weatherproof covers. The assembly is mounted via a standard non-sparking square aluminum tube frame onto a non-sparking aluminum platform for rigidity and durability. Safety and portability features include forklift skid pockets, a top-located lifting eyelet for easy transportation with chain hooks or cable, and non-sparking locking casters.

The system is built in accordance to NFPA 70 (National Electric Code) and certified to UL 1640. All equipment is NEMA 3R rated for indoor and outdoor usage protecting against dirt, water and ice. NEMA 4 and NEMA 4X equipment is available upon request.
