[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 107736, member: 34"] Re: 150 A 3 phase distro Some things are worth building; some are not. A power distro is an awful lot of liability to take on, and the final product, even after many hours invested, looks nowhere near as polished as a Motion Labs or other 'real' manufactured product. A 'real' power distro is not that expensive - maybe only $3000 or so - so it's on the line that I would consider 'not worth building'. Especially considering that [I]any [/I]electrical malfunction that might cause an insurance claim isn't going to be covered because this distro is in use. LAB subs, on the other hand, with 3 weeks of time and $5,000 I was able to get $20,000+ worth of subwoofer performance. That's worth it. And no one that I know of makes road-cased power inverters, so there is no commercial option for that project. :) Edit: I was actually going to post making fun of Tom's connector choices on this unit. (Purely in a friendly way, of course). A combination of regular receptacles flush mounted, flanged receptacles, and receptacles on raised covers made for a good chuckle from me. All the receptacles in use on this distro are available in flanged versions, so it could have been much cleaner and more professional looking. [/QUOTE]
