Eaton Specification Sheet - AREX40327 S22
Feature: Amperage rating of 400A enables high-current feeders directly through the AREX40327 S22 receptacle assembly. This capacity reduces the need for multiple, intermediate taps and lowers wiring complexity, which translates to shorter install times and fewer points of potential failure. Application: Ideal for motor control centers and main feeders in manufacturing and process industries requiring robust, reliable 400A connections. Feature: Voltage rating of 600 Vac / 250 Vdc and a 50–400 Hz range support both AC and DC power architectures common in industrial settings. Benefit: Expands compatibility with mixed-electrical systems, simplifying panel design and reducing part variety. Application: Power distribution in machine bays, conveyors, and control panels where versatile voltage handling is needed. Feature: Material and construction use copper-free aluminum for corrosion resistance and lighter weight. Benefit: Easier handling during installation, improved heat dissipation, and reduced total installed weight. Application: Outdoor or damp environments and retrofit projects where weight and durability matter. Feature: Receptacle style with spring door and reversed contacts. Benefit: Enhanced environmental protection for exposed contacts and reduced mis-wiring risk during field installation. Application: Enclosures and junctions in harsh facilities where secure sealing and reliable mating matter most. Feature: Two-wire, three-pole configuration with Style 2 grounding. Benefit: Simplified wiring topology and dependable grounding path, supporting safe, compliant panel assemblies. Application: Large panels and power distribution schemes requiring robust grounding compatibility. Feature: Dimensions and capacity support easy integration. Benefit: 2-1/2" trade size and 0.84" wire well enable straightforward cable management and faster field assembly. Application: Design of compact, high-capacity power distribution solutions in industrial plants.

FAQs
To install AREX40327 S22, verify enclosure compatibility with a 2-wire, 3-pole configuration and ensure the 2-1/2 inch trade size fits the site. Route conductors through the 0.84 inch wire well, align the reversed contacts for correct mating, and engage the spring door to seal the receptacle. Follow the installation instructions in the provided Eaton sheets for torque and connection guidance to minimize mis-wiring and maximize reliability.
The 400A amperage rating supports high-current feeders, reducing the need for additional taps and simplifying wiring in large power distribution schemes. Coupled with 600 Vac/250 Vdc capability and a 50–400 Hz range, this receptacle can handle diverse industrial loads, from conveyors to motor drives, within a single, rugged interface.
Yes. The receptacle assembly is designed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and adheres to NEC/CEC standards, providing regulatory compliance for most non-hazardous industrial installations while maintaining durable performance in harsh environments.
The spring door offers environmental protection for the contacts, reducing exposure to dust and moisture, while reversed contacts help ensure proper mating orientation in challenging cable runs. Together, they improve reliability, minimize field wiring errors, and lower maintenance costs over the life of the installation in demanding facilities.
