http://www.middleatlantic.com/rackac/ucp/custom.htm middle atlantic has their rail system where you buy a blank 2U fram and load it up with whatever you want. they do have a panel punched out for edison outlets but they say it's for "low voltage only" lol. I would assume that to make it legal you'd have to put a box on the back of it, and then get it certified. Jason |

....like an adaptor that will feed the L14-30 from 2 edisons instead of the distro? Thanks, BJ |

I'm currently using a small distro and run a 10g cable from it to my amp rack equipped with a small panel that houses an L14-30 and splits into 2 quads for amp power. When no 220 is available I have to yank the amps out of the quads and plug into extension cords. Question: Is there a more eloquent solution to this? ....like an adaptor that will feed the L14-30 from 2 edisons instead of the distro? Thanks, BJ |

Tom, I am not sure if I understand your suggestion; but it seems like you describe paralleling the neutral from separate branch circuits. Again I think this won't work if the upstream breakers are GFCI. I might not understand your post. |

So I got quotes back today and now I'm confused. I have a $120 difference in two products. Tripp Lite makes a distro with 12ea NEMA 5-15/20R, a 20a breaker, a current indicator, and an L5-20P on a 15' cord. No switch, no MOV. Just plain distro. http://www.shoprbc.com/ca/shop/product_details.php?pid=46131 The Motion Lab is $60 more, has a smaller breaker, less edisons. I'm all for buying Motion Lab products, since that's rock and roll and the testimonies tell me I can't get any finer. But the $120 I save on a pair of devices can go for the fancy panel I need, all the cool plugs and jacks, and gas to go parts chasing. The ammeter is a bonus. |

It's a big rack, I think it's worth 3 L5-30s and 3 30a breakers. Yeah it should feed FOH too (but shouldn't this come from here anyway?). |
