Distro Help.

my uncle and i are upgrading our sound going from the old 400w fane 18xb's and 10 tonne amcrons  as well as other amps, speakers, etc.

from reading around on here im guessing we now need distros as we're going for 8 1500w a side amps just on bass and more amps for the mids and tops.

so my question is what's the easiest thing when using diffrent amps as sometimes we're in places with normal 13 amp plugs, some with 16, some with 32 (i think) and soon we will be using generators when outdoors which use 63 amps which im guessing have phases (which i have no clue what they are and if they will affect performance)

^^ these are needed correct?

sorry for all this, first time we'll have these and i need assurance on how to do this correctly 

thanks in advance

by the way thats a 32 amp solution. what about 13 and 16?

 

My gut reaction would be buy 2 of those per rack and use a single 32A in, you can then have (legally) 13A > 16A and 16A > 32A adapters which makes things easy.

 

To get a 32A in (no point in less for a 6 amp rack) 6 out on powercon would be a good £200 ish, I am looking into a 32A in 6x powercon out 1U metered DB but TBH time at the min is not good and think 32A powercon + 3 C20 MCBs + 6Powercon + Meter + case is £100 before time/profit...

 

Decent amp rack distro is a pain, ideally you need a couple of 10A IECs too for LMS etc...

 

 

 

 

 

Theory is, if you use a 13A > 32A > 63A > 315 Camlok you may have a 315A distro, but the current is limited to a safe 13a, you build a 63A to 16A bodge lead you can now draw 63A trhough a 16A cable, which will end badly!!!!

 

Their are no exceptions to this rule (apart from 32A > 13A double socket which is a Uk only thing) any anyone spouting "but my distro has ...., so I can xyz" is cretin that should be culled to cleanse the gene pool!
