Eaton Specification Sheet - AREX4042210 S22
High-current capability: 400A rating supports feeders for large motors and process equipment with a single, robust receptacle. This reduces the number of parallel connections, lowers heat, and simplifies spare-part management in the control cabinet. It’s ideal for power distribution in manufacturing lines and heavy machinery where reliability is non-negotiable. Rugged housing and material: copper-free aluminum delivers corrosion resistance with lighter weight compared to steel. The impact is longer service life in damp or outdoor environments and easier handling during installation. Use this in outdoor enclosures or wash-down areas to minimize maintenance downtime. Sealed accessibility: spring-door receptacle style protects contacts from dust and moisture, improving reliability in harsh environments. The design reduces ingress and facilitates quick, tool-free field servicing, saving maintenance time during PM cycles. Applied to industrial enclosures and outdoor cabinets where uptime matters. Grounding and configuration: Style 2 grounding with three-wire, four-pole configuration ensures proper earth reference and safe fault paths. This supports NEC/CEC compliance and reduces rework in code audits. Perfect for main feeds to distribution panels in factories and distribution hubs. Connection efficiency: 4-inch trade size with 1.25-inch wire well simplifies cable routing and pre-wiring. The 50-400 Hz compatibility plus 600 Vac/250 Vdc rating cover mixed-electrical environments, enabling a single receptacle for dual-power systems. This lowers installation time and total cost of ownership across multirole equipment.

FAQs
Ensure the enclosure supports ordinary/non-hazardous locations per NEC/CEC. Mount the AREX4042210 S22 using appropriate hardware, connect the three-wire, four-pole configuration with Style 2 grounding, and route conductors through the 1.25 inch wire well. Verify 600 Vac/250 Vdc rating and 50–400 Hz compatibility before energizing. The spring door helps seal against dust during maintenance.
The unit affords 400A continuous current, 600 Vac/250 Vdc, and operation from 50 to 400 Hz. Reversed contacts improve connection reliability under vibration, while copper-free aluminum reduces weight and corrosion risk. Together with a spring-door receptacle design, this configuration supports durable, low-maintenance service in demanding environments.
Yes. Classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and compliant with NEC/CEC standards, it suits large feeders to motors and process gear in factories, packaging lines, and distribution centers. Its 4 inch trade size and 1.25 inch wire well facilitate neat, scalable wiring for expanding installations.
The AREX4042210 S22 adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. These certifications help simplify audits and ensure compatibility with common industrial panels and enclosures without special hazardous-location adaptations.
Copper-free aluminum reduces weight and corrosion, extending service life and lowering replacement costs. The spring-door design minimizes ingress and simplifies field servicing, which saves maintenance time. The 400A rating enables fewer parallel connections, reducing cabinet clutter and labor during installation and future expansions.
