About the Juice Goose PD1B 6-Duplex Receptacle Custom Multi-Circuit AC Power Strip Distribution (30")
The Juice Goose PD1B is a heavy-duty, custom-configured AC power distribution strip designed for professional applications requiring multiple, dedicated circuits in a single, organized enclosure. Unlike standard power strips that draw from a single circuit, this unit is a "multi-circuit" strip, meaning it can be wired to provide receptacles powered by several different electrical circuits or phases. This is critical in live sound, broadcast, theater, and industrial settings where high-power amplifiers, lighting, and motorized equipment must be distributed across multiple circuits to prevent overloads and ensure stable operation. The 30-inch length provides ample space for multiple large power plugs, and its robust construction is built to withstand the demanding environment of touring and permanent installation.
The strip typically features six duplex NEMA 5-15R or 5-20R receptacles, which can be grouped and wired according to the user's specific requirements. Common configurations include splitting the receptacles between two 20-amp circuits or providing a mix of 120V and 208V/240V outlets. The unit is constructed from a durable, extruded aluminum channel with a high-impact end cap, and it often includes multiple mounting options such as bolt-down feet or rack-mount ears. Safety is paramount, with features like a common ground, clearly labeled circuits, and heavy-gauge internal wiring to handle the full rated current.
Installation and wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician to match local electrical codes and the specific power distribution needs of the system. By consolidating multiple circuit feeds into one organized, rugged strip, the Juice Goose PD1B simplifies power distribution for large equipment arrays, reduces cable spaghetti, improves safety, and provides a professional, reliable power foundation for complex setups.
