Larson Electronics LLC Releases Three Phase 480V to 240D/120V Power Distribution Substation


Larson Electronics LLC, a leader of industrial lighting, released a portable power distribution substation that gives operators the flexibility to utilize 480V AC three phase electrical current to power 208Y/120V AC three-phase equipment on a single system. This 60-amp 45KVA power distribution panel contains three 60-amp time delay fuses, and twelve 20-amp 1-pole 125V breakers, protecting twelve 20-amp 125V 5-20R GFCI duplex receptacles. This unit is ideal for indoor and outdoor use in plant turnarounds, shipyards and other temporary industrial applications.

The MPD-480D-45KVA-208Y.120-12X120.20A-20C is a 480V 3 phase portable power distribution substation that converts three phase 480V AC to 208Y/120V AC from a single power source. The primary side of this 45KVA unit distributes 480V using a 20-foot #8 Type W power cord to connect to a variety of power sources including generators or direct grid power. The 60-amp primary disconnect contains three 60-amp time delay fuses.

On the secondary side, the unit has twelve receptacles to power a variety of applications. The secondary side of the transformer feeds a 208Y/120V three phase 125-amp main lug NEMA 3R panel. This secondary panel contains twelve, 20-amp 1-pole 125V breakers protecting twelve, 20-amp 125V 5-20R GFCI duplex receptacles. All receptacles are equipped with weatherproof covers to protect against unpredictable outdoor conditions.

The MPD-480D-45KVA-208Y.120-12X120.20A-20C temporary transformer is mounted to a carbon steel platform with forklift skid pockets, locking casters and top located eyelet for easy lifting and transportation. The unit is ruggedly constructed to withstand tough working environments during operational use. The unit is compliant with the NFPA 70 National Electric code, certified to UL 1640 and has a NEMA 3R rating that provides protection against dirt and water in open or confined spaces. 

“This portable power distribution system is a very reliable option for remote or temporary worksites where external power sources are needed for equipment,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “This innovative transformer gives operators the flexibility to power 120V equipment on a single system.”
