125A CEE Power Distributor

Description

A 125A CEE power distributor is an essential tool when using three-phase power in the audiovisual sector, where three-phase power is often preferred for powering events. Three-phase power offers several advantages, such as higher current capacity and better control over power consumption. This increases the reliability of the event. A 125A CEE power distributor plays a crucial role in the process of using three-phase power, as it converts the three-phase power into standard mains voltage. This allows equipment to be easily connected to regular power outlets.

What is three-phase power?

Three-phase power, also known as three-phase electricity, is essentially a more powerful version of a normal power outlet. It is often recognized by the red connection with five pins. This is not suitable for the regular plugs we use in everyday power outlets. To use three-phase power, a special three-phase cable is required. These cables are thicker than regular power cables and have a red connector with five pins. This makes it important to have the right cables for the 125A CEE power distributor, which are available for rent in various lengths, such as 5 meters, 10 meters, and 20 meters.

How do I connect equipment to a 125A CEE Power Distributor?

The 63A CEE power distributor itself offers various connection options. If you only want to connect a few devices, you can use the 12 Schuko connections that are present on the distributor. These connections are single-phase and fused in pairs at 16A. This makes it suitable for applications where lower power is needed. However, if you want to fully utilize the 125A connection at the location, for example at larger events where a lot of equipment is used, you can use the two 63A CEE connections on the power distributor.

By combining these 63A and 32A connections with corresponding power distributors, you can create a total of 24 Schuko groups (or 48 connections). This gives you the ability to connect multiple devices, up to 16A per circuit, without risking overload.

What should I pay attention to when using a 125A CEE power distributor?

Using the 125A CEE power distributor is fairly simple. You only need to connect the distributor to a 125A cable, switch on the fuses on the front, and then you can start connecting your equipment. It is important to carefully check if you have a 125A three-phase power connection and the correct cables. Sometimes the 125A version is confused with the smaller 63A version, although the differences are small. However, the plugs of the 125A and 63A versions do not fit each other, so it is essential to ensure you have the correct distributor before using it.

In summary, the 125A CEE power distributor is an indispensable tool for safely and efficiently using three-phase power at events. With the right connections and cables, this distributor ensures a reliable power supply, allowing your equipment to function optimally.
