Eaton Crouse-Hinds AREA20425 Arktite AREA receptacle - 3R

AREA20425 delivers a 200A capacity with a 600 Vac/250 Vdc rating and a wide 50–400 Hz range, making it suitable for heavy-duty feeders and control cabinets. The copper-free aluminum enclosure provides resilience against corrosion while keeping weight manageable during installation. The spring door design protects terminations in challenging environments without sacrificing service accessibility. Copper-free aluminum reduces weight and corrosion risk, lowering handling challenges and installation labor in the field. In outdoor or washdown areas, this material choice translates to longer service life and lower maintenance costs for continuous-operation facilities. The enclosure is compatible with standard 1-1/2\" trade-size fittings, simplifying component sourcing. Termination is crimp/solder, enabling secure, field-terminable connections even with mixed conductor runs. This approach minimizes the risk of loose terminations that drive downtime and maintenance in panel builds and equipment installations. The design supports reliable, repeatable connections across multiple assemblies, improving overall project consistency. The spring door receptacle style provides weather sealing and rapid access during inspections, service, or upgrades. In routine maintenance, technicians appreciate the simple door operation without compromising enclosure integrity. The configuration is well-suited for Arktite AR Series integrations in standard industrial facilities. Three-wire, four-pole configuration ensures correct grounding and neutral distribution for balanced loads in motor circuits and controls. Paired with Style 2 grounding and a 600 Vac rating, AREA20425 supports safe operation across diverse industrial applications. NEC/CEC compliance and 3R NEMA rating give procurement teams confidence in code alignment and protection for ordinary locations. From a safety and ROI perspective, the AREA20425 reduces commissioning time and field service calls, delivering measurable uptime gains. Its 1-1/2\" trade size is a familiar interface for standard cables, reducing training needs for maintenance crews. Overall, the specification aligns with typical plant palettes, lowering total cost of ownership by minimizing custom parts and sparing errors. Its compatibility with Arktite line simplifies procurement and minimizes stock-keeping units for installers and specifiers. Standard crimp/solder termination reduces jobsite rework and enables faster cabinet builds. Rugged copper-free aluminum and 3R rating provide consistent performance across changing environments, supporting long project lifecycles.
