FAQs
Installation requires a four-wire, three-pole connection to ensure proper grounding and phasing. Use the internal breaker to provide localized protection and connect the brass body to a secure panel mounting location rated for IP66 environments. Verify seal integrity and conduct periodic inspections to maintain water ingress protection in marine settings.
The 2472B-250 is rated for 20A at 250V AC and configured as four-wire, three-pole with brass construction. These specifications support safe operation of typical industrial loads, enable robust grounding and fault isolation, and ensure compatibility with standard 250V equipment. The IP66 rating provides protection against dust and powerful water jets, enhancing reliability in harsh environments.
Yes. The four-wire, three-pole configuration is designed to deliver safe, isolated power with proper grounding for industrial and marine environments. Coupled with IP66 protection and an internal breaker, it maintains performance in wet, dusty, or exterior installations while simplifying wiring and maintenance tasks.
This receptacle is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, aligning with common facility safety standards. The IP66 ingress protection rating helps ensure dust and water resistance in non-hazardous settings, while the four-wire, three-pole arrangement supports compliant, safe wiring practices in standard industrial environments.
An internal breaker reduces the need for external protection and simplifies wiring, cutting installation time and panel space. This can lower maintenance costs by reducing fault-finding complexity and improving uptime, particularly in demanding marine or industrial environments where reliable, quick fault isolation is critical.
