This is a project I've needed to do for a while now - especially with festival season upon us. It's my new heavy-duty weatherproof 32 amp power distribution unit that is used for temporary event power outdoors.
This video documents the build process, modifications and workarounds I made along the way on this project.

This unit takes a single 32A Ceeform input and breaks it out into 3x 16A Ceeform outputs. The distro also provides overall overload protection, output overload protection and features dual 16A 30mA RCBOs (RCD + MCB combined). The split RCBO outputs mean that in the event of an earth leakage fault only some power would trip off and experience outages.
This is ideal for my use in live sound at music festivals as I can run the stage power from one side of the distro and the front-of-house main PA system from the other.
That means in the event somebody on stage plugs something faulty in (phone charger, guitar amplifier etc..) it will take power out to the stage only and I can still play music out front uninterrupted.

The build is actually based on a factory-built Mennekes "Menn 459913" unit that I picked up on the cheap for just £20. This was originally made with just a double-pole 25A RCD and 16A input but provided a brilliant template for what I required from a distro.
The housing is designed to hold up to 4 MCB / DIN-Rail devices and the cable entry gland was generously sized making it easy to fit a Double-Pole 32A MCB / isolator with two RCBOs for the outgoing ways.
The incoming cable tail was upgraded to 3-core 6mm H07RN-F tough rubber flex and fitted with a 32A Cee-type plug.
