Eaton Specification Sheet - ARE3422 S22
The ARE3422 S22 receptacle assembly delivers 30A at 600 Vac / 250 Vdc with a 50 to 400 Hz range, configured as a three-wire, four-pole unit in a 3/4" trade size. This electrical specification translates to flexible integration with motors, controls, and lighting across evolving plant layouts, reducing wiring changes and inventory needs. The copper-free aluminum body provides lighter weight without compromising strength, enabling faster installation and easier handling during maintenance cycles, which lowers labor costs and downtime. The spring-door receptacle design improves sealing during plug-in and removal cycles, while reversed contacts enhance safety and reliability in high-vibration environments common to mining, steel, and chemical processing facilities. Grounding through Style 2 and the NEMA 4 rating ensure robust earth continuity and weather resistance, supporting reliable operation in outdoor or wash-down zones and ordinary-location applications. Compatibility with Arktite connectors minimizes field rework and aligns with NEC/CEC standards for safer, code-compliant power distribution with lower lifecycle costs.

FAQs
ARE3422 S22 is designed for straightforward installation in Arktite environments. It uses a 3/4" trade size compatible with standard conduit fittings and Arktite mounting interfaces. With a NEMA 4 rating and Style 2 grounding, install in ordinary/non-hazardous locations where weather sealing, wash-down resistance, and reliable grounding are prioritized. Consider alignment with NEC/CEC when planning panel interfaces and verify enclosure integrity to maintain seal performance over the long term.
The unit provides 30A with a voltage rating of 600 Vac / 250 Vdc and a frequency range of 50–400 Hz, enabling broad compatibility with motors, controls, and lighting across diverse industrial applications. The three-wire, four-pole configuration ensures proper phase and grounding, while copper-free aluminum reduces weight without compromising strength. These specs support safe operation in standard industrial power distribution networks and simplify cross-compatibility during equipment upgrades.
ARE3422 S22 is certified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations with a NEMA 4 rating, making it suitable for outdoor, wash-down, and semi-exposed environments typical of manufacturing floors and processing plants. It is not rated for hazardous locations unless specified by additional certifications. For compliance, ensure installation in accordance with NEC/CEC guidelines and verify enclosure protection meets site-specific environmental conditions.
Copper-free aluminum offers corrosion resistance and lighter weight, improving handling during installation and service. This translates to lower maintenance costs, fewer replacement parts due to corrosion, and longer service life in damp or wash-down zones. The material choice also supports sustainability goals by enabling recyclable components and reducing overall weight on mounting structures.
Using ARE3422 S22 consolidates power interconnectivity with Arktite devices, reducing field rework through compatible connectors and standard dimensions. The combination of NEC/CEC compliance, NEMA 4 weatherproofing, and 30A/600 Vac ratings minimizes downtime during installation and upgrades, while copper-free aluminum lowers lifecycle costs. These factors collectively shorten project timelines, improve reliability, and support safer, code-compliant expansion of industrial power distribution networks.
