The C12 is a 12-channel power distribution unit, built for demanding production environments where safety, visibility and uptime are critical. Each channel is protected by a high performance 16A/30mA RCBO with C-type load trip characteristics and A-type earth leakage sensing.

These RCBOs are optimized for the tough load conditions that modern AV-equipment represents; inrush currents, significant leakage currents in particular. These circuit breakers combined overload, short-circuit and earth leakage protection in one compact unit that remains stable under all temperature conditions. Full load on a hot summer day? No problem!

The C12 also features our fast-acting overvoltage protection that will protect your valuable connected loads (light, LED panels etc) in the event of a lost or weak neutral connection.

When things go wrong, every millisecond counts..

We have also fitted an E-stop button that trips the main disconnection switch and isolates the C12 from the mains supply. This is a regulatory requirement in several countries and without an E-stop, you could be prohibited from using your distro.

The incoming power for the C12 is via a fixed or detachable cable, fitted with either a 32A or 63A CEE 3-phase (5-pin) plug depending on your choice and needs.

Keyfeatures

12 channels each protected by a 16A/30mA RCBO.
CEE63A or 32A input (fixed or detachable input cable).
Comprehensive real-time supervision of all in- and outgoing power
Integrated web-server for remote supervision.
Fast-acting over-voltage protection.
Emergency stop button
Wide range of output connector options.
Compact 3U (133mm) 19” rack mount.

LoadSens system monitors

Our unique LoadSens system monitors every channel in real time. The front panel clearly indicates whether a channel is without a load, drawing current or is being overloaded. This makes fault finding fast and easy. All channel and system data is accessible via the integrated web server. This includes per-channel load current, incoming supply voltage and currents, system temperature and more – all available to you instantly, both locally and remotely.

Designed for professionals

We offer a wide range of output connector options. This includes Socapex 19-pin, Harting 10 and 16 pin, wired to your preference. We also have a version with a Neutrik True1 connector per channel. For convenience purposes, channels 24 is also available on the back as a single outlet with a user-selectable connector (Schuko, French Schuko, UK13A, Swiss 13 or Australian GPO).

To sum up, our C24 is designed for professionals who need a compact power distribution unit that both serves and protects.. It’s designed to handle the toughest loads, maintain full system visibility.

Tested, certified & documented

All of our products are thoroughly tested, certified and designed to meet or exceed all relevant standards. We provide manuals, drawings and technical documents to support you and your team, whether you're on tour, handling a permanent installation or managing one-off gigs.
