This unit allows operators to power a 240V and 120V equipment from a single system and is designed for indoor and outdoor locations.

This unit provides operators the ability to safely tap into 480V AC and distribute 120/240V AC power from a variety of sources including generators and direct grid power. For increased reliability during operation, line-in power as well as connections between the disconnect and transformer and between the transformer and secondary panel consist of heavy-duty SOOW cords. On the primary side, operators connect 480 volt line-in power via 10` of #8 SOOW cord. On the secondary side, operators connect to one 30-amp, 240V pin/sleeve explosion proof receptacle for 240V equipment and to six 20-amp, 120V explosion proof receptacles for 120V equipment.

This unit converts 480V single-phase power to 120/240V single-phase and passes current to the secondary panel where operators can connect to one, 30-amp, 240V pin/sleeve explosion proof receptacle for 240V equipment, and to six, 20-amp, 120V explosion proof receptacles for 120V equipment. The receptacles are mounted on an aluminum back plate and equipped with weatherproof covers.
