FAQs

The 2462B-277 is a three-wire, two-pole receptacle in the Pauluhn series designed to work with existing Pauluhn 246/247 receptacles and related interlock assemblies. Its mounting footprint follows standard Pauluhn dimensions, enabling straightforward retrofit or expansion in control panels and flush-mounted enclosures. This compatibility minimizes wiring changes and reduces project risk during upgrades.
Plan for a 20 A amperage rating at 277 Vac with a three-wire, two-pole configuration. The unit also features an internal breaker for local protection, and its brass body provides durable contact surfaces. Ensure supply wiring and enclosure space accommodate the 7.81 in depth, 13.44 in height, and 6 in width, along with the overall 31.5 lb weight for rigging and mounting.
IP66 protection makes the receptacle well-suited for ordinary/non-hazardous locations exposed to moisture or dust, including many marine or outdoor applications where watertight performance is critical. For dedicated marine interlock configurations, consult the Pauluhn catalog pages to confirm compatibility with interlock and watertight assemblies.
The 2462B-277 carries an IP66 ingress protection rating and is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. This combination supports reliable operation in non-hazardous industrial settings, while meeting common industry expectations for moisture and dust resistance in demanding environments.
The internal breaker streamlines maintenance by localizing overcurrent protection within the receptacle, reducing external wiring space and potential fault points. This can shorten service time, minimize panel changes, and improve uptime, contributing to lower total cost of ownership for critical 277 Vac circuits in demanding facilities.
