FAQs
Yes. AREX403228 is designed for Arktite enclosure systems and uses standard 3-inch trade size dimensions that align with common mounting patterns. The two‑wire, three‑pole configuration simplifies wiring within Arktite assemblies, while the copper‑free aluminum construction ensures straightforward handling during retrofit projects in industrial facilities.
Key specs include a 400 A amperage rating, 600 Vac / 250 Vdc voltage rating, and a frequency range of 50–400 Hz. The grounding is Style 2, with a 3-inch trade size receptacle and 1.25-inch wire well. These specs enable reliable service in both AC and DC drive applications across ordinary locations.
AREX403228 is ideal for large-scale power distribution in manufacturing, mining, and processing plants. It supports high current, broad frequency ranges, and non-hazardous environments, making it well-suited for feeders to heavy equipment, control rooms, and outdoor substation interfaces where durable, compliant terminations are required.
The receptacle assembly adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is classified for Ordinary/Non‑Hazardous Locations. Its copper-free aluminum construction supports corrosion resistance, while the Spring door design provides protective access, aligning with maintenance and safety requirements common in regulated industrial settings.
Maintenance benefits include reduced downtime due to a protective spring door, corrosion resistance from copper-free aluminum, and simpler wiring from a two‑wire, three‑pole configuration. These factors lower service intervals, extend component life, and reduce total cost of ownership in retrofit or expansion projects.
