Application Spotlights

Amusement Parks & Theme Parks

Amusement rides, animatronics, and attraction lighting systems require electrical connections that can be safely serviced by maintenance staff. Meltric decontactors allow ride technicians to disconnect and reconnect equipment under full load without an electrician, reducing ride downtime during peak operating seasons. NEMA 4X watertight connections withstand outdoor exposure and park washdown operations.

Temporary Event Power

Concerts, festivals, film productions, and sporting events require temporary power distribution that is frequently assembled and disassembled. Meltric switch-rated connectors provide safe connections for stage lighting, sound systems, and production equipment. Dead front construction eliminates arc flash risk during setup and teardown when crews are working in close proximity under time pressure.

Snow Making & Ski Resort Operations

Snow making systems at ski resorts use high-power pumps and compressors positioned along mountain terrain. Meltric connectors with IP 66/67 ratings provide weatherproof connections that withstand freezing temperatures, snow, and ice. Switch-rated operation allows resort staff to safely manage snow making equipment power in remote locations without calling for an electrician.
