Part number
AREX403229

Quick Summary

AREX403229 is a heavy-duty receptacle assembly by Eaton Crouse-Hinds for 400A power distribution. Engineers often contend with bulky enclosures and corrosion-prone components in harsh environments. This AREX unit complies with NEC/CEC standards for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, delivering reliability and safety. Designed for a 3-1/2 inch trade size, two-wire three-pole configuration, and a wide 50–400 Hz range, it supports both AC and DC systems. Copper-free aluminum construction reduces weight while maintaining durability, and a spring-door receptacle design speeds service and minimizes maintenance. Together, these features translate to lower lifecycle costs and easier regulatory documentation for industrial facilities.

FAQs

AREX403229 measures 23.63 in long, 13 in wide, and 19.31 in high, with a 3-1/2 in trade size and 1.25 in wire well. Plan mounting to align with standard AREX footprints, consider the two-wire three-pole configuration for proper conductor routing, and ensure the spring-door access remains unobstructed for serviceability in your enclosure layout.
Yes. AREX403229 is specified for 50 to 400 Hz operation and a voltage rating of 600 Vac / 250 Vdc, making it suitable for mixed AC/DC installations typical in industrial facilities and control panels without adapter hardware.
AREX403229 is designed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards. This makes it appropriate for general industrial facilities and non-hazardous plant environments while meeting essential electrical safety and wiring codes.
Copper-free aluminum delivers corrosion resistance, improved durability in harsh environments, and a lighter footprint compared with copper-based housings. This reduces maintenance demands, lowers lifecycle costs, and supports sustainable recycling in industrial installations.
Official documentation is available, including installation sheets, a 3D CAD drawing package, catalog page, and the Eaton specification sheet for AREX403229. Access these resources to verify compatibility, mounting methods, and wiring guidelines prior to field deployment.
