KEMP, Texas, Jan. 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Larson Electronics, a Texas-based company with over 40 years of experience spearheading the industrial lighting and industrial equipment sectors, announced the release of a portable power distribution substation that converts single-phase 480V AC electrical current to single-phase 120/240V AC. This substation allows operators to safely tap into and distribute 480V AC power from generators and direct grid power.

The Larson Electronics MGL-50A.8465C-30AFT.480-7.5KVA-4X120.20A power distribution substation converts single-phase 480VAC electrical current into single-phase 120/240VAC. On the primary side, operators connect 480V single phase using 20` of #8 Type W cord with a CS8465C cord cap and to one L8-30R receptacle in a feed through configuration for 480V equipment. Transformer is grounded to the frame and we provide a grounding lug on the frame for the earth ground. The transformer and load center/distribution assembly is mounted to a standard steel cart style frame resulting in an extremely stable, durable, and mobile power distribution platform.

The MGL-50A.8465C-30AFT.480-7.5KVA-4X120.20A portable power distribution substation features a primary side for operators to connect 480V single-phase using 20 feet of #8 Type W cord with a CS8465C cord cap to one L8-30R receptacle in a feed-through configuration for 480V equipment. The secondary side allows operators to connect to four 5-20R GFCI receptacles protected by four 20-amp, one-pole 125V breakers.  All of the receptacles feature weatherproof covers for added protection.

This 7.5 kVA power distribution substation has a load center/distribution assembly that is mounted on a steel cart style frame with a center point lift pickeye that is equipped with a backplate for easy lifting. This transformer is grounded to the frame with a grounding lug that is provided. This unit is suitable for use indoors or outdoors in places like construction sites, for plant maintenance and turnarounds, shipyards and more.
