FAQs
To install the BHP10487D, follow the IF 119 instruction sheet and use appropriate termination hardware for a three-wire, four-pole configuration. Ensure the cable diameter falls within 1.375-1.875 in, maintain a proper grounding connection (Style 2), and verify 480 Vac supply within the rated 60-400 Hz range. For safety, complies with NEC/CEC guidelines and hazardous-location standards during mounting and termination.
The BHP10487D supports 100A amperage, 480 Vac voltage, and 60-400 Hz frequency. It features a cable diameter range of 1.375-1.875 in, is configured as three-wire, four-pole, and uses brass contacts with a copper-free aluminum housing. Grounding is Style 2, aligning with hazardous-location installation practices.
Yes. The BHP10487D is designed for 480 Vac systems and supports a wide frequency range of 60-400 Hz, making it suitable for diverse industrial drives and machinery operating under variable frequency conditions in hazardous environments.
The BHP10487D is NEC/CEC compliant and rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations, including Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III. It carries NEMA ratings 3, 4, 7, 9, 12, and UL-related certification references, providing broad regulatory coverage for industrial installations.
The copper-free aluminum housing reduces galvanic corrosion and weight, while the brass contacts deliver durable, low-resistance connections. These factors translate to longer service life, reduced maintenance cycles, fewer field failures, and lower total cost of ownership in harsh environments such as coatings, mining, and chemical processing plants.
