Temporary Power Panels
Temporary power distribution panels are key in construction sites, outdoor events, and other temporary installations that need power. They serve as the central point from which electricity is distributed to a variety of tools, equipment, and facilities at a job site. When they need to be relocated, they can be moved as easily as one might move any other type of portable enclosure.
As part of a temporary power solution, these panels are flexible and adaptable to various installation needs. They typically have an assortment of outlets, circuits, and breakers that allow the panel to serve a variety of devices and the loads they place on the system. Temporary power boxes are also available to provide additional flexibility and convenience. The panels can offer power at many different voltages, from a basic 120 volts to 480 volts or higher and are a fundamental part of the temporary power setup.
Temporary power panels are built with sturdy materials to handle the day-to-day exposure to outdoor environments, and tough enough to last through numerous applications in a variety of locations. Some panels are even weather-resistant, protecting against dust and water.

FAQs
How is a temp power panel different from permanent power?
Temporary power panels are for short-term use on construction sites or events, while permanent power is the long-term electrical service for a building.
Differences Between Power Supplies, Inverters and Transformers
Power supplies
A power supply converts one type of power to another. The most common example is a power supply that takes AC voltage and converts it to DC voltage. While it is very common to use power supplies in industrial applications, one very common place to see a power supply used is for the devices such as: smartphones, laptops or tablets. Most devices come with a power cord that has a bulky block on the end of it. This block is where the power supply is located. Most devices do not use AC power, which is the type of power being supplied to homes. They use some form or DC power. The power supply changes the AC voltage to the correct DC voltage for the device.
Inverters
Inverters work in a similar way to power supplies, with one major difference, instead of converting AC power to DC power, the inverter does the opposite. It converts DC power to AC power. DC power is created by devices such as solar panels or batteries, but most homes require AC power. To convert the DC power that is generated by the solar panels, an inverter is used.
Transformers
Transformers convert one type of AC power to a different type of AC power. For example, homes commonly use 120 VAC and automatic sprinkling systems have valves that require 24 VAC. A transformer converts 120 VAC to 24 VAC so the sprinkler valves can operate properly. Transformers come in many different shapes and sizes. and can convert AC power up or down.
