[QUOTE="Richard McLawhorn, post: 25143, member: 456"] Re: Cable and Recepticle Ratings The Truss Box has a non-typical 30a locking connector that even my local electric supply shop said that they have to special order. I don't recall offhand what the code on the connector is. I had replaced the male end of the cable that comes from the truss box with an L14-50 and put a L14-50 Recepticle on my distro however, i wanted to change those connectors over to a locking connector and also to a connector that is not as bulky. I also had another use for my L14-50 connectors and recepticle. Seemed like the right time to change the connectors on the Distro and the cable. I had already used the 15a breakers because i knew that was the limit on the edison recepticles, so it is just a matter of changing the parts. The main reason for the use of these is for ease of use and making use of what i have in my inventory. The cable for this truss box is over 150 feet long and provides (2) 15 amp circuits on my truss. It was given to my when my church was doing some cleanout and i have no other use for 150 feet of 10/4 cable. This box also doubles as my FOH power source for audio gigs. Hope this shines some light on the purpose of my thoughts. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
