FieldPower, a universal decentralized power distribution system, is designed for industrial machinery applications where there is a need to distribute power over extensive distances via multiple power drops to peripheral equipment such as motors, starters and other electrical devices.

The FieldPower product offering consists of multiple all-in-one enclosed PowerBoxes that incorporate an innovative insulation displacement connection (IDC) system to quickly tap into uncut power cable and maintain an IP 65 rating. FieldPower is designed to replace the traditional method of hard wiring utility distribution boxes for individual power drops. Each PowerBox can be mounted at any point on the machine with a continuous, uncut five-pole (max.) power cable placed inside. Flat or cable types can be used together in a single PowerBox for added flexibility. FieldPower is unique in that no pre-packaged cable lengths with connectors are required.

The PowerBox plug-in connectors are equipped with "Push-In" termination technology. Twin connectors are also available to provide dual feeder circuit distribution. In addition, a fuse option is available, with blown fuse indication to protect loads and outgoing feeder circuits. The PowerBox is rated at 600V/30A/14-10AWG.
