I really like manufactures who mark which screws need to be used to open the device. I recently bought an inverter last year, I decided to open it up and check and it was a good thing because the circuitboard wasn't correctly slotted into the casing and was warped. but thankfully I caught it soon enough that it was able to be fixed by just popping it back into its track. After that I decided anything electrical is worth double checking the insides with a visual inspection before using.
Hey Sam! We don’t have a preference. The labeling preference changes between industries. As an example: entertainment likes “X Y Z”, industrial likes “L1 L2 L3”. I haven’t seen an “A B C” personally. -Billy
Curious what the reasoning is for the 5 amp circuit versus the 15 amp circuit breaker. was this to prevent folks from using up the convenience outlet for things that weren't conveniences? 5 just seems a little low you plug the tea kettle and you're not gonna get tea. Or if you would prefer coffee. 😜 Not nearly as bad since this isn't trying to protect and it's just acting as a splitter distribution box. but I know a certain manufacturer that likes to not protect their convenience outlet and I was reading about somebody who accidentally without knowing plug the rig into a "special janitors outlet" custom inappropriately wired for 240V. the high dollar major brand device protected the equipment beyond it however this person's wireless microphone receiver was plugged into the convenience outlet that wasn't protected.... The irony this person does a seminar on safe Electrical for musicians.
Correct. The 5 amp breaker is to prevent overloading the distro. The idea is that the back outlets have priority. It limits the user from say...plugging another rack into the front. The courtesy outlet is only intended for small items.
Question! I live in USA and my outlet is 240V. Can i connect this device to 240V ??? The power distribution says that the connection is 125/208 V on the NEMA power input.
Without knowing the device, my first instinct is no. Id bet you have a "world power supply" meaning that it is designed to run on either USA 120v 60Hz or EU 220v 50Hz. 220v in this instance is a single phase. Our D3 distros are 3 phase. Meaning that they have 3 separate legs of 120v. 208v often refers to 2 phases of power. Since the phases are 180 degrees apart, the resulting voltage measured across the legs is 208v. A single phase 220v line for your device would require a step up transformer. Hope this helps! -Billy

Just curious, does LM have a preference to label 3 phase power as XYZ? I often see it labeled as ABC.

@@lmcases1985 Thanks! Now that I think about it the only time I've really seen it as ABC is with anything from Electronic Theatre Controls
Good night what is the price

I am interested in the D 3/P Powercon Power Distro model.
