Power distribution boxes serve as the fundamental core of any LED display installation, functioning as both the primary power source and the main safety protection system. These crucial components ensure stable operation under various environmental conditions while significantly extending equipment lifespan and reducing maintenance costs through proper power management.
Inadequate Power Capacity : Selecting undersized units leads to frequent circuit tripping and operational disruptionsEnvironmental Protection Neglect : Outdoor installations without proper waterproofing suffer water damage during rainfallSafety Oversights : Missing essential protection devices results in potential electrical hazards
Accurate power assessment requires considering all system components:
LED module power requirements
Control system consumption
Cooling system energy needs
Additional auxiliary equipment loads
Horizontal Power Supply LED Display Module
Essential Practice : Always incorporate a 20-30% safety margin to accommodate future expansions and ensure stable operation.
Each power circuit must adhere to these critical specifications:
Cable Specification : 3×2.5mm² copper cablingMaximum Current : 16A per circuitPower Capacity : 3.5KW per output
Critical Recommendation : Always reserve 2-4 additional circuits for auxiliary equipment and future expansion needs.
