FAQs
AR6648 is designed for panel mounting with a round flange compatible with the Arktite AR series. The flange supports secure installation in control panels and machine enclosures, providing a robust sealing interface. Its 4-pole, 3-wire configuration aligns with standard panel-mounted receptacles, enabling straightforward integration with matching plug sets and mating components from the AR family.
AR6648 is rated for 60A with a voltage rating of 600 Vac / 250 Vdc. It uses a three-wire, four-pole configuration and Style 2 grounding. This arrangement supports reliable grounding paths and safe fault current paths in industrial control panels, while allowing flexible connection to mixed AC/DC systems common in automation equipment.
AR6648 is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and NEC/CEC-compliant installations. It’s ideal for panel-mounted receptacle housing in industrial automation, packaging, and processing equipment where robust power interfaces are needed without hazardous location classifications, offering durable aluminum construction and UL-backed certification for safe operation.
AR6648 aligns with NEC/CEC standards and is documented for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. UL certification is available via official documentation, and installation sheets (IF 292) support correct wiring and safe assembly. This combination helps ensure regulatory compliance, ease of inspection, and formal safety validation for panel assemblies in manufacturing environments.
The copper-free aluminum body resists corrosion, reducing maintenance needs and extending service life in exposed or humid environments. Its 60A rating and robust grounding scheme minimize downtime from interconnect failures, while standardized AR compatibility simplifies spares and field replacements. Overall, this translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster return on investment for automation projects.
