Members RoadRanger Posted February 11, 2010 Members Share Posted February 11, 2010 Except that a CB is necessary for UL listing. Even if the power strip is rated at 20 amps ? I know I'd be pissed if that breaker popped in the middle of a show . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, IIRC that is a requirement for listing as a power distribution accessory. If the 20 amp breaker opened, you have a problem and are overloading the design capabilities of the device. This is one reason why quad boxes are not UL listed as an accessory power distribution device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the products list, this website sells rack mount 20a power strips that have no power switch or circuit breaker and claim that they are UL listed.http://www.stayonline.com/20a-rackmount-power-strips.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
