The 3101B-480 uses a 20A, 480 Vac four-wire, three-pole configuration to deliver high load capacity with clear wiring schemes. This combination reduces panel complexity and streamlines protection strategies, translating to faster commissioning and fewer field errors in new builds or upgrades. It is ideal for shipboard power distribution, offshore equipment, and washdown-ready machinery. IP66 ingress protection shields contacts from water, dust, and spray. That protection minimizes corrosion risks and unplanned shutdowns in harsh environments, lowering maintenance costs and extending service life. Contractors rely on this capability in cargo ships, offshore platforms, and warehouse automation where frequent hose-downs occur. Brass construction provides strong mechanical durability and excellent conductivity. The material resists corrosion in salt-air environments, reducing wear and facilitating longer intervals between replacements. This receptacle’s Pauluhn marine pin and sleeve heritage ensures compatibility with standard plugs, simplifying spare parts management and service routines. The compact brass unit—weighing about 4.9 lb with a 3.56 in depth, 4.63 in height, and 3.63 in width—fits tight panel spaces and supports reliable, durable installations in demanding environments. Documentation pages and installation sheets from Eaton enable quick planning, reducing project risk and accelerating field readiness.

FAQs

The 3101B-480 is a four-wire, three-pole receptacle designed to mate with standard Pauluhn marine pin and sleeve plugs. It supports typical 480 Vac installations and a 20 A load, letting electricians wire per standard marine wiring practices. Its brass construction and IP66 seal simplify field maintenance, while the four-wire layout clarifies conductor routing and protection coordination, ensuring quick, reliable panel retrofits in ships and offshore equipment.
Key specs include a 20 A amperage rating and a 480 Vac voltage rating, four-wire, three-pole configuration, brass body, and IP66 ingress protection. This combination supports high-load motors and pumps while delivering reliable protection against water and dust ingress. The result is reduced fault incidence, easier diagnostics, and longer service life in coastal, offshore, and washdown environments.
Best suited for marine, offshore, and rugged industrial settings, including shipboard power systems, cranes, and washdown zones. The IP66 rating handles spray and immersion risk, while the Pauluhn pin and sleeve compatibility ensures standardization across fleets and facilities. Ordinary/Non-Hazardous location classifications reflect safe use in general industrial areas without explosion risk.
This receptacle carries IP66 ingress protection and is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Its Pauluhn marine lineage aligns with established offshore and marine electrical practices, supporting compliant installation in wet, dusty environments while enabling reliable maintenance strategies and spare-part planning.
The rugged brass construction and IP66 sealing reduce corrosion-related failures and downtime, translating into lower maintenance costs and higher uptime. Standardized Pauluhn compatibility speeds replacements and stocking of spares, which shortens outage windows on vessels and in processing plants, delivering favorable total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
