Truss-mountable power distribution unit with integrated channel monitoring and protective shutdown

Abstract

Truss-mountable power distribution unit for distributing electrical energy to multiple consumers in temporary energy infrastructures, comprising: - at least one electrical input, - at least several electrical outputs, - at least one mechanical mounting device for installation on truss systems, - at least one sensor for detecting current and / or voltage and / or temperature per output, - at least one control unit, characterized in that the at least one control unit evaluates the electrical parameters of the individual outputs separately and / or jointly and, upon detection of an overload and / or overheating and / or fault current situation, triggers a selective shutdown of individual outputs and / or a complete shutdown of the power distribution unit, wherein the power distribution unit is designed for operation in elevated, rigging-adjacent installations with an integrated secondary fuse option.
