PCE STAR Stationary Distribution Board 32A/5P 16A/5P with 2 Schuko Sockets IP44

The PCE STAR stationary distribution board is a high-quality electrical power distribution unit engineered for demanding industrial and commercial environments. This robust device provides a reliable solution for managing multiple power connections simultaneously, featuring a versatile configuration that includes both 32A/5P and 16A/5P industrial sockets alongside two standard Schuko sockets. Its durable construction ensures long-term performance in workshops, construction sites, and manufacturing facilities where consistent power access is essential.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this distribution board is its exceptional versatility and safety. By combining different socket types in a single, compact housing, it eliminates the need for multiple extension cords and adapters, thereby reducing cable clutter and potential tripping hazards. The unit is built to withstand challenging conditions, offering a high level of protection against moisture and dust, which ensures that electrical connections remain secure and operational even in semi-exposed environments.

Suitable for

• Industrial workshops and manufacturing plants
• Construction sites requiring multiple power outlets
• Commercial garages and maintenance facilities
• Temporary power setups for events or exhibitions

When it may not be suitable

This distribution board is not designed for permanent outdoor installation in areas exposed to heavy rain or direct water jets, as it carries an IP44 rating which only provides protection against splashing water. It is also not intended for use in explosive atmospheres or hazardous zones requiring specialized explosion-proof equipment.

Key specifications

• Input: 32A/5P industrial socket
• Output 1: 16A/5P industrial socket
• Output 2: Two 16A/250V Schuko sockets
• Protection rating: IP44 (splash-proof)
• Housing material: High-impact resistant plastic

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical safety regulations. The unit is designed for wall mounting in a stationary position. Once securely mounted, connect the main power supply to the 32A input socket. Ensure that the total load connected to the distribution board does not exceed the rated capacity of the supply circuit to prevent overheating or circuit breaker tripping.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing electrical supply circuit is compatible with the 32A/5P input requirements.
• Check the total power consumption of your tools to ensure they do not exceed the board's capacity.
• Confirm that the mounting location provides adequate protection from direct weather elements.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the sockets and the housing for any signs of physical damage or wear. Keep the protective covers of the sockets closed when they are not in use to maintain the IP44 protection rating.
