FAQs
To install the 2617A-250, mount the aluminum housing to the surface using appropriate fasteners, ensure the gasket is seated for IP66 sealing, connect four conductors in the four-wire, three-pole configuration, and secure the two receptacles. Verify grounding continuity and tight torque on terminal lugs to prevent overheating. This layout supports safe, code-compliant power distribution in Pauluhn enclosures.
The 2617A-250 is rated for 20A and 250V AC, configured as four-wire, three-pole with two receptacles. Use standard 14 AWG to 10 AWG conductors depending on installation length and insulation, and ensure proper strain relief and enclosure fill. This configuration supports typical industrial loads while maintaining safe, reliable connections.
Yes. The unit features IP66 ingress protection, corrosion-resistant aluminum housing, and is designed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. These characteristics make it suitable for outdoor, wash-down, and marine-adjacent installations where moisture, dust, and exposure to the elements are a concern, while keeping electrical connections protected and compliant.
The 2617A-250 is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and carries IP66 ingress protection. This combination ensures safe operation in general industrial environments, withstands exposure to dust and water, and supports compliance with standard non-hazardous location requirements in many regional electrical codes.
The aluminum construction and IP66 sealing deliver long-term durability with reduced corrosion risk and fewer maintenance interventions. The surface-mount design simplifies installation and future inspections, enabling quicker replacements if needed. Overall, this translates into lower downtime, predictable performance, and a favorable total cost of ownership for plants using Pauluhn systems.
