Custom power distribution centers provide measurable economies of scale that instantly benefit any facility or situation. The innovative AMAXX enclosure system by MENNEKES offers an affordable solution for configurable power distribution to customize your application quickly and easily. One AMAXX unit replaces multiple receptacle installations, saving you labor, material, and space.
Whenever you spend time designing a power distribution center to better meet your current and future power requirements, time and money is expended that you cannot get back. Here are five reasons to switch to the new concept in power distribution offered with AMAXX:
1. 100% Flexibility
AMAXX offers an endless amount of made-to-order, pre-wired customization options and gives you complete flexibility to meet your current and growing needs. RoHS compliant and environmentally-friendly AMAXX modular systems are available in five sizes and are made to scale with a broad range of wiring device options including:
- Pin & Sleeve Receptacles
- Switched & Interlocked Receptacles
- Convenience Outlets
- GFCI Outlets
- NEMA Locking Devices
- Breakers or Fusing
- Blank Plates for your own use
2. Save Space
Since one AMAXX unit replaces multiple receptacle installations, you can save a significant amount of space, labor, and materials at your facility. You’ll recoup valuable wasted real estate immediately when you install an AMAXX system.
3. Save Time
Installation of the AMAXX enclosure system is incredibly quick and easy. Watch the 3-minute, one-man installation video on the MENNEKES website to see for yourself. Wiring instructions are also available on the MENNEKES website, and help is always just a phone call away. Field installation is facilitated with the availability of pre-wired factory units.
4. Fast Delivery
In-stock AMAXX systems are also available for fast delivery in a single gang to a five gang model. Even with in-stock systems, you still have choices. Start with a blank enclosure, and then choose from the standard module options listed below to create a power distribution center that’s tailored to your needs:
- The Switched and Interlocked Receptacle Module is available in different voltage configurations when several switched receptacles are needed with limited space.
- The Receptacle Module is perfect for IEC 60309 receptacles, NEMA Locking receptacles, or if you need to mix and match different receptacle combinations.
- The GFCI and Duplex receptacle Module is designed for convenience power for portable equipment needs, often required in factories, plants, and similar environments.
- The Overcurrent Protection Module provides window access to circuit breakers or fusing to protect your equipment and your personnel.
- The Blank Module provides unlimited design flexibility for field installation components.
5. Versatile Applications
Whether yours is a food, beverage or manufacturing plant, automotive or pharmaceutical facility, shipyard, or even a ski facility, AMAXX enables you to create the right customized solution to meet multiple installation needs. AMAXX non-metallic enclosures and module plates are molded with GE Valox thermoplastic materials and have a NEMA 4X enclosure rating. Units can be ganged together or used individually, offering numerous installation options. Additionally, IEC60309 switched and interlocked receptacles can be combined with NEMA devices in one assembly. Enclosures are hinged for easy access to interior components, which facilitates field wiring. The possibilities are endless because AMAXX provides a solution for every application.
“Facilities that aren’t using an AMAXX enclosure system for power distribution can waste design time, mounting space, and money, “explains Paul DiAntonio, Vice President of MENNEKES. “Our clients have been extremely happy with AMAXX. Recently, a large winery switched from a large power distribution design with custom stands, separate devices boxes and mounting hardware, which they seamlessly consolidated into a single AMAXX unit with a single set of hardware. They were thrilled with how easy it was and couldn’t believe the space and installation savings when compared to traditional installation.”
You should review your power distribution needs and existing installation on an ongoing basis. If you’re experiencing facility growing pains and need more power in an existing footprint but have limited monetary resources, an AMAXX system may be your solution to satisfy growth requirements in a defined mounting area with a cost savings for configurable power distribution needs. With AMAXX, you get the freedom and versatility you need today and in the future.
