Amperage and current handling deliver business value: 200A rating supports high-demand equipment without oversized or parallel connections, reducing transformer or panel loading calculations and enabling reliable feeding of large industrial machines in Arktite enclosures. This translates to fewer parallel connections, lower heat, and improved uptime in manufacturing lines where every amp counts. Voltage compatibility and frequency range expand applicability: 600 Vac / 250 Vdc with a 50–400 Hz window supports both traditional AC systems and modern variable-frequency drive setups, enabling a single receptacle across diverse global facilities and helping minimize inventory of different units. Material and corrosion resistance: copper-free aluminum construction offers lighter weight with robust corrosion resistance, ideal for outdoor and damp environments, reducing handling effort during installation and service while extending component life. Connection integrity and serviceability: crimp/solder termination paired with a spring door and reversed contacts provides a secure, maintenance-friendly interface, speeding wiring, simplifying field servicing, and improving reliability in harsh factory floors. System compatibility and compliance: three-wire, four-pole configuration with a 2" trade size fits standard Arktite installations, while NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA 3R rating ensure safe operation in ordinary locations and non-hazardous environments, reducing risk and audit friction. Real-world insights: installers benefit from a familiar Arktite ecosystem, streamlined spare parts management, and predictable performance across rotating shifts and weather-exposed sites.
