Full specs — Motion Labs 200A 3-phase distro
Likely cause: Ties the nameplate to CEP's actual SKU (12RU 1300-200A-12-2) rather than the generic 9RU dealer listing, so techs grab and spec the correct chassis.

Which Motion Labs 200A distro am I looking at? (9RU vs 12RU)
Likely cause: Prevents mis-spec between a 9-circuit and a 12-circuit box when someone orders or troubleshoots by the generic Portable Power Distro name.

Correct camlock tie-in / disconnect sequence
Likely cause: A ground connected first and removed last guarantees fault-current protection is present whenever any live conductor is connected or disconnected.

Hoists/motors run backwards or ignore limit switches after tie-in
Likely cause: A 3-phase induction motor reverses direction when any two phases are swapped; correcting rotation at the feeder restores proper hoist direction and limit-switch function.

L21-30 output pinout / wiring
Likely cause: Correct 5-wire mapping ensures the shared neutral and ground are landed properly and the 208V phase-to-phase / 120V phase-to-neutral relationships hold.

Nuisance breaker trips or overheating with everything seemingly within limits
Likely cause: Balanced phase loading keeps neutral/return current and per-phase heating low; imbalance concentrates current on one leg and its connectors.
