Modular power - plug and play
Hello everyone! It has been a LONG TIME since my last blog post, we have been extremely busy here at Cook’s, with new projects, building our showroom, hiring and training new employees, and general business development! With that being said I wanted to write a brief blog post on MODULAR POWER - we have done several projects at a local college recently ad they have really adopted the use of MODULAR POWER!
What is Modular power?
Modular power, simply put is an electrical distribution system that allows for full flexibility within a floor plate.
Modular power consists of 3 elements:
1.) Power distribution boxes (essentially a junction box)
2.) Floor mounted boxes (this is where you can plug in)
3.) Connecting cables (25’ connection whips from the distribution box to floor box)
How this works…A PDB (power distribution box) will receive power (by an electrician) and this will be mounted under the raised access floor, strategically placed in every 1000-1500 sqft. This will serve as the hub for the power, you will connect the whips to the distribution box and those (plenum rated) cable will then attach to a flor bow which is cut into a raised floor panel. This is where it get pretty neat, the raised floor panel is 24” x 24” this gives you 4 - 1 sqft quadrants, inside 1 of these quadrants we would cut a hole suited for the electrical box. This hole gives you the flexibility to now house the floor box in ANY sqft of your floor plate! These raised access flooring panels are all totally interchangeable meaning you can literally pick up your electrical box and move it to ANY SQUARE FOOT of your floor plate!
This means that your business can simply add, move or make changes to the layout without having to worry about connectivity issues, or having extension cords, or running wires in the ceiling, taping cords on the floor or any other issues that come from traditional construction methods!
