A look at some of the Powersafe powerlock-style connectors used for connecting high current supplies in the entertainment industry, temporary power industry and various industrial applications including factories and quarries. They allow suitably trained individuals to make a very fast high current connection easily and safely.
The Powerlock style connector replaced the older Camlock connector which was similar to a welding connector and had a very open construction with exposed live metal on both the plug and socket. The new style has fully shrouded connections, keying to avoid misconnection and a locking pin to prevent accidental detachment.
They can be terminated either using the set-screw clamping as shown, with various reducing sleeves for smaller cables, or a version is available that can be crimped on. Once assembled and mated they are well protected against ingress of water and dirt.
These connectors were generously supplied by Phase 3 connectors Ltd.

They are manufactured in the UK. (Which is reassuring to know.)
