Eaton Crouse-Hinds BHP10385N Plug - Hazardous Locations
Part Number: BHP10385N
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds BHP10385N plug provides 100 A power interconnection for hazardous-location equipment. For engineers and maintenance teams, uptime depends on connectors that resist corrosive environments and simplify regulatory compliance. The unit carries NEC/CEC standards and hazardous-location ratings, including Class I, Division 1; Class II, Division 2; and Class III, plus compatible NEMA protections (3, 4, 7, 9, 12). With copper-free aluminum housing and brass contacts, it combines light weight with durable conductivity. The 0.875–1.375 in cable diameter range supports common field cabling, while 480 Vac and 60–400 Hz ratings cover a wide range of motor loads and control circuits. This plug enables faster installation, lower rework, and long-term lifecycle savings for industrial buyers.

100A amperage rating enables direct interconnection to high-load motors and equipment, reducing the need for additional adapters and minimizing voltage drop in critical processes. This translates to shorter installation times and fewer potential failure points on production lines. The 0.875–1.375 in cable diameter range ensures compatibility with common field cables, enabling secure terminations without oversized fittings and reducing project delays. The two-wire, three-pole configuration simplifies wiring schemes and improves interlock compatibility, while the Style 2 grounding provides reliable earth bonding for hazardous locations. Copper-free aluminum housing lowers weight and enhances corrosion resistance, and brass contacts ensure consistent conductivity under demanding conditions. The 480 Vac rating and 60–400 Hz frequency support diverse motor loads and control circuits, expanding applicability across industrial plants. Finally, compliance with NEC/CEC standards and the listed NEMA ratings (3, 4, 7, 9, 12) helps streamline procurement, inspection, and regulatory documentation, reducing risk and rework during audits.

FAQs
Plan for 0.875–1.375 in cable diameters and prepare two-wire, three-pole wiring with a proper enclosure. Use copper-free aluminum housing and brass contacts to maximize corrosion resistance and conductivity. Follow NEC/CEC requirements and consult the IF 119 installation sheet for step-by-step guidance to ensure proper grounding, sealing, and compliance during commissioning.
The plug carries NEC/CEC standards and hazardous-location ratings, including Class I, Division 1; Class II, Division 2; plus Class III, with NEMA protections of 3, 4, 7, 9, 12. These certifications confirm suitability for explosive gas and dust atmospheres, enabling safe interconnection of equipment in mining, chemical processing, and other harsh settings.
Yes. With a 100A amperage rating and a 480 Vac supply, plus 60–400 Hz frequency support, the plug accommodates high-current motor starters and control circuits commonly found in industrial automation. The copper-free aluminum body reduces weight for field installations, while brass contacts maintain reliable conductivity under demanding conditions.
The BHP10385N adheres to NEC/CEC standards and has Hazardous/Classified Location area classifications. It also carries a NEMA rating of 3, 4, 7, 9, 12 and a UPC of 782274041247, supporting regulatory documentation, inspection readiness, and site compliance in hazardous environments.
Official installation and specification resources include the Eaton BHP10385N datasheet, the IF 119 instruction sheets for related interlock receptacles, and the BHR SRD interlocked receptacles catalog page.
