ProCo Sound to Showcase New AC Power Distribution Products at InfoComm 2018

LAS VEGAS, MAY 9, 2018 – ProCo Sound, an ACT Lighting brand, will show new power delivery solutions from AC Power Distribution at InfoComm 2018 (Booth C1734). New to AC Power’s Studio Stage Theater (SST) series are the Portable Camlock Disconnects, which provide safe and convenient main disconnect and overcurrent protection for any temporary power distribution system. AC Power is also expanding its Portable Outlet Box (POB) series with the new PowerBOX Taps (a.k.a “JuiceBOX”), which allows users to simply and conveniently tap into PowerCON 20A circuits and distribute power to a variety of output connector types and configurations. Both products can be easily integrated into any AV environment, with features designed to provide adaptable options for any power delivery need or project. Power requirements change from project to project; these solutions give schools, museums, houses of worship and any other fixed installation a portable option to supplement an existing power system.

With three 20A convenience outlets featuring 100 percent continuous-duty, branch-rated breakers, the new Portable Camlock Disconnects provide quick and easy utility power without the hassle of taps and adapters. Users can choose from nine models ranging from 100A to 400A as well as a 480V version. Each includes Main Breaker (standard or adjustable) and Load Center type configurations. The 250A and 400A models come equipped with adjustable over-current settings for protecting various feeder circuits. Access to over-current setting can be sealed in a facility or left open for on-location adjustments. Each stackable, compact model is built with top and side mounted handles and feet allowing for convenient portability and orientation.

“We built the Portable Camlock Disconnects with a focus on safety and convenience to ensure our customers can easily monitor and distribute power for temporary applications,” says James Davey, VP of Power Distribution, ACT Lighting. “Stainless steel hardware is housed in a heavy-duty anodized aluminum enclosure, available as a NEMA-rated 3R, weatherproof enclosure for enhanced durability. This rugged design ensures the units can provide dependable, uninterrupted power delivery regardless of a project’s environment.”

The convenient and compact PowerBOX Taps allow operators to place 15A or 20A outlets wherever needed along a PowerCON 20A feed. Each unit is housed in a heavy-duty, fully insulated enclosure that offers numerous output receptacle choices. Users can take advantage of the units’ built-in feed-through design to place multiple boxes along the same feed or create a custom 20A stringer. Optional hangers can be easily installed to hang units from a pipe or truss.

“With much of the industry’s intelligent lighting and audio equipment relying on PowerCON 20A connectors, we’re confident the pro AV community will benefit from the simplicity and convenience of PowerBOX Taps,” says Davey. “The units’ compact POB series enclosures provide users with a flexible option for placing 15A or 20A outlets at custom locations along a PowerCON 20A feed, ensuring their power setup includes convenient outlets located exactly where they’re needed.”
