MODULE
Electrical System
Two 150-foot power cables, each capable of supplying 20 AMP power from the PDISE to the first
container connected in series. The quantity of containers in series is limited by current usage and voltage
drop from container to container; therefore, it is not recommended that more than two ASLMS systems be
connected in a series.
Each container has a power cable connection and a pass-through circuit to supply power to the next
container connected in the series. The FPU-12 has a step down transformer to convert 120VAC to
12VDC, and self-coiling cables to supply power to the lighting in both the FPU-12 and the FPU-8
containers. Each cable and container panel has military-type, weather-tight pin-and-sleeve devices
located at each end of each container to provide safe connections from container to container in the
series. This prevents against disconnect interruptions and safeguards against mismatching connections
of different amperages and voltage ratings. The inlet (male) and outlet (female) receptacles are
compatible with plug ends on power cables so that a power cable can be used interchangeably with any
container throughout the system. Plug-in connectors are located in recessed areas located at the ends of
each container.
Cables must be manually connected and disconnected each time containers are relocated.
