The six 16A RCBO-protected outputs allow compatible equipment to be supplied across separate circuits, helping production teams organise power requirements efficiently. This makes the distro particularly useful for lighting rigs, audio systems, AV equipment and other professional production equipment that requires dependable electrical distribution across a venue or stage.
For event hire, integrated circuit protection provides an important advantage when building a professional temporary power system. The unit can help production teams manage multiple power feeds from a single distribution point, while the Socapex connection provides a practical solution for integrating compatible event power cabling and equipment into a wider production setup.
The 32A 415V Soca with 6x16A RCBO outputs is therefore a versatile addition to professional event power hire. Whether supporting a concert lighting rig, live sound system, theatre production or corporate event, it provides a convenient and organised method of distributing power to compatible equipment. All electrical installations and connections should be designed, checked and operated by suitably competent personnel in accordance with applicable UK electrical safety requirements.
