New AV operators with limited electrical knowledge often learn about the importance of good power distribution the hard way. Circuit breakers will trip out just when the sound and lighting systems are getting to the most important part of the night! Power boards plugged into power boards and domestic extension cords are not the way to go. The term "heavy duty" when applied to extension cords has two distinct meanings. A builders "heavy duty" extension cord will have extra thick high visibility insulation and 3 x 1.0mm² copper wire, whereas extension cords sold in the entertainment industry will have black insulation and extra thick copper wire, usually 3 x 1.5mm² for reduced voltage drop under peak loads.

Well planned medium size events and concerts are powered from one or more 32A 3-phase 5-pin outlets that are available at most public venues. Lighting can be tested prior to the event by simply bringing all the lights up to max, however sound systems have an extremely high peak/continuous current ratio and are very difficult to predict from the equipment plate ratings. The general rule of thumb for music is that audio amps and powered speakers will draw 1/8th of their rated output power at full volume. This is a continuous current value and the power supply needs to be capable of supplying peak currents well in excess of this value.

20Sound stock a variety of 3-phase Distros, PowerCon cables and GPO outlets necessary to build a professional stage or event power distribution system.

32A 3Ø Extension Cable - Black

32A 3-phase 6mm² black rubber flex cable suitable for temporary event usage. Australian 32A 5-pin system. Available in 10, 20, 30 or 50 metre lengths. 50m length supplied on a reel with switched outlet.

32A 3Ø Double Adapter

Australian 32A 5-pin system.  Provides two unswitched outlets from one plug.

32A 3Ø Distribution Box

3-Phase distribution boxes are used to access almost 10 times the power available from a standard 10A wall socket. This is necessary to supply the peak power demands of large sound and lighting rigs at concerts and stage productions or simply to provide reliable power for hospitality and catering vans at outdoor events. This distro is supplied with 5m of input lead length and 6x15A RCD protected outlets and 3x20A RCD protected PowerCon outlets.

(The unit is compatible with 32A, 40A and 50A 5-pin power outlets)

$65.00+GST

20A 3Ø PowerCon Distribution Box

The smaller 20A 5-pin 3-Phase connection is occasionally found in smaller entertainment venues. This box provides three 20A RCD protected PowerCon outlets allowing high current runs to be distributed around a stage using PowerCon cables and GPO outlet blocks (available separately).

20A PowerCon Double GPO Power Outlet

The GPO outlet blocks are used as part of a professional event power distribution and are fitted with PowerCon input and output sockets allowing them to be daisy-chained as required using the 20A PowerCon leads above. 20A maximum rating. The Clipsal outlets are built with a sturdy two prong connector per pin providing far better plug retention and a more reliable low resistance connection than the single edge contacts used in cheaper power boards.

20A PowerCon Joiner

Neutrik PowerCon joiner used to connect 20A PowerCon leads. 20A maximum rating.

15A Plug to PowerCon Adaptor Lead - Black

Australian 15A power outlets (with the larger Earth pin) are available in most community halls and venues and are the next best thing to 3Ø outlets.
