- Powerlock
Powerlock, also referred to as: power-loc and power-lok, is a single pole electrical connector used by the entertainment industry for high current applications, similar to but considered safer than camlock connectors.
Powerlock is available in 400A and 600A versions, and can be used for single phase and, much more commonly, three phase applications. Three phase connections require five separate cables.
Applications
Powerlock connectors are typically used to connect to generators and busbars. Powerlock inputs are available on many large dimmers [http://www.avolites.org.uk/products/art2000.htm Avolites Art-2000 Dimmer Unit] and on large power distribution units.
