Power connectors for temporary power

Choose the connection for your generator, distribution equipment and cable system. Explore PowerFit, K-LOK and CEE Form for event power, film and broadcast setups, rental equipment and load-bank connections.

Start with the equipment interface

Temporary power equipment can use different connector systems even when it performs the same job. Identify the inlet, outlet or docking-panel interface first, then select the matching connector format and electrical rating. A regional convention or a similar-looking connector is not sufficient evidence of compatibility.

Use the circuit’s specified current and voltage when selecting a feeder connection. Generator capacity in kVA alone is not enough to choose a connector: the electrical configuration and the cable assembly also matter.

Browse the current connector ranges

PowerFit

Single-pole line source, line drain, panel source and panel drain connectors. Browse all four current ranges.

For equipment specifying the PowerFit single-pole interface. Compare the cable termination as well as the current rating.

K-LOK

Single-pole cam-type connectors in 150A and 400A ranges, with line and panel formats.

For equipment specifying the corresponding K-LOK cam-type interface. Confirm the exact mating parts when integrating with an existing system.

CEE Form

Multi-pole industrial plugs, connectors, receptacles and inlets. Select current, pole arrangement, voltage and protection grade together.

For equipment specifying a matching multi-pole CEE Form connection, including portable distribution and auxiliary supplies.

A connector’s maximum rating is a component limit. Select the complete connection, including both mating parts, cable, termination, enclosure and operating conditions. A larger connector rating alone does not establish the allowable current of the assembled circuit.

Match the cable to the termination

The following are documented line-connector examples, not interchangeable assembly instructions:

  • K-LOK KL-150LMBK: 150A Maximum, 600V AC/DC Maximum, double set screws for #8 to #2 AWG.
  • K-LOK KL-400LMBK: 400A Maximum, 600V AC / 250V DC Maximum, double set screws for #6 to 4/0 AWG.
  • PowerFit PFLD-2BK-S150M40A: 500A Maximum, 1000V AC/DC Maximum, double set screws for 150 mm² cable.
  • PowerFit PFLD-2BK-C300-400-M40/M50: 800A Maximum, 1000V AC/DC Maximum, crimp termination for 400 mm² cable.

Confirm the conductor construction, cable outside diameter, gland and bushing, assembly method and required tools for the exact product. Follow that product’s instructions for tightening or crimping; one torque value cannot cover every connector in these ranges.

Plan the connection as part of the installation

  • Weather exposure: the PowerFit 500A and 800A datasheets state IP67 while mated. Check the required protection of the full assembly and disconnected interfaces separately.
  • Safe switching: plan isolation and switching at the system level. Do not treat a locking or key-release feature as permission to connect or disconnect under load.
  • Identification: specify conductor function, color convention and mating configuration together. Follow the approved site procedure for connection, inspection and energization.
  • Evidence: use the exact model’s datasheet and applicable certification documents. A connector listing or test report does not certify a complete generator or distribution assembly.

Send us a clear connection brief

Include equipment or panel drawings, mating-connector details, operating voltage and current, cable size and outside diameter, conductor identification, installation environment, quantity and destination market. KUPO can then review the required connector configuration with you.
