PowerBar Maximum Load

mfollen · Jan 20, 2019

Hello!

I'm not sure how many different pieces of equipment I can put on one powerbar or one port. I have three MP40's and am not sure I can put them all on one port. Then there's the other pieces of equipment, etc.

Can anyone help me understand how the powerbar works or under what circumstances I will need a second powerbar? Or if you can help point out resources that explain this that would be great, I tried searching for this information but could not find it.

Thank you!

You should check the user manual of the powerbar

2.2.1 USA/CD, D and F/B models You can connect consumer loads up to 15 A per socket (for the dimmable socket only up to 2.2 A permanent current). In total, the sum of all consumers (all sockets in total) may be up to 15 A.

2.2.2 CH and AUS models You can connect consumer loads up to 10 A per socket (for the dimmable socket only up to 2.2 A permanent current). In total, the sum of all consumers (all sockets in total) may be up to 10 A.

2.2.3 UK model The socket, to which the connection cable of Powerbar5.1-PAB is connected, may only be fused with max. 13 A. You can connect consumer loads up to 13 A per socket (for the dimmable socket only up to 2.2 A permanent current), but the sum of all loads (all sockets in total) may not exceed 13 A.
