Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of connectors does the PSB45 use?
- It uses 20A P-Con TR input and output connectors (compatible with Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1) and four standard Schuko (CEE 7/4) output sockets.
- Is it safe to connect or disconnect the P-Con TR cables while the unit is powered on?
- Yes, PowerCON TRUE1 type connectors are designed with Breaking Capacity (CBC), allowing them to be safely connected and disconnected while in operation.
- Is this distributor waterproof or suitable for outdoor use?
- No. The housing has an IP20 rating, meaning it is protected against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm (such as fingers), but it does not offer protection against moisture or water. It should be used indoors or in outdoor locations properly protected from the elements.
- How many PSB45 units can I daisy-chain?
- The number of units that can be daisy-chained depends directly on the total power consumption of the connected equipment. The total current consumption must not exceed the capacity of the connector and wiring (20A) or the capacity of the main power circuit to which the first distributor is connected.
