With a 300 A amperage rating, the 6000B supports heavy welding loads without requiring parallel receptacles. This translates to fewer connection points to manage, lower arc-flash risk, and faster setup on busy shop floors, especially for large fabrication, hulls, or crane systems. IP66 ingress protection delivers dust-tight and water-resistant performance, reducing maintenance and unplanned downtime in wet, dusty, or outdoor environments. In marine and industrial facilities where washdown cycles and spray exposure are routine, this rating keeps connection integrity intact while simplifying compliance with site safety standards. Brass material provides robust corrosion resistance and long-term durability under demanding conditions. For salt spray, chemical exposure, or high-vibration setups, brass housings maintain reliable conductivity and ensure a solid, repeatable electrical connection. Single receptacle configuration simplifies wiring and reduces potential mis-matching during installation. In field repairs, technicians can quickly identify and connect the correct plug, improving uptime and reducing commissioning time for new equipment. 600 Vac rating supports industrial power distribution needs in welded fabrication, construction, and heavy equipment. Combined with Pauluhn Weld series design, it integrates with standard Pauluhn plugs and mounting patterns, ensuring compatibility and ease of procurement. While compact at 5.25 in long, 6.5 in high and 5 in wide, the unit weighs 8.4 lb, easing on-site handling and mounting. The catalog number is 6000B, and the UPC is 662276383890, helping streamline purchasing and inventory control.
