I have an 80' Rohn 25G tower on top of a 110' concrete grain elevator. This
elevators power is giving me fits as they are flipping breakers on and off
as they are in full swing with all the corn coming in right now out of the
fields. I do have everything on UPS's, but need to move up the ranks
What gear do you need to power on ?

Wow, you learn something every day. What I've learned today is that down
south harvests corn significantly earlier than we do in the corn belt. ;-)
What I've wanted to do, but have been so far unable to do is to have a power
source (be it a 120 vAC charger, solar cells, wind turbine, etc.)
I haven't tried them yet, but a neighbor that does lots of SCADA work
likes the MeanWell AD-15xx series power supplies, battery chargers.

About 8 percent of the weight in a box of corn flakes is corn. Less than 5
percent of the purchase price reflects the corn price. The remainder of the

Here is my question: Do they make a device that has multiple DC power

We have had a number of EZ connectors fail. Most/all the ones I saw
fail were traced back to a EZ crimper that when replaced went away.
Not all the pins would sink. An installer said we also had a bad run
of EZ connectors once.
There not perfect and are certainly pricey. There about all we use
The Ezs are great when up on a tower or in a big hurry. You are just about
100% sure its done right. The cable tester is merely an exercise.
Too bad they don't have a shielded one.
