FAQs
The BHP10585 NW plug is a four-wire, five-pole, 100 A connector designed for Class I, II, and III hazardous locations with a copper-free aluminum housing and brass contacts. It accepts 0.875-1.375 inch cables and uses Style 2 grounding, simplifying field terminations while meeting NEC/CEC requirements and applicable NEMA ratings. This combination minimizes downtime during routine maintenance and cross-site wiring upgrades.
Key ratings include 100 A amperage, 480 Vac voltage, and 60-400 Hz frequency, suitable for heavy machinery and motor drives in harsh environments. Certifications encompass NEC/CEC compliance, hazardous-location ratings (Class I Division 1, Class II Division 2, Class III, Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1), and NEMA ratings 3, 4, 9, 12, 7. These ensure safety and regulatory adherence in industrial facilities.
Industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, and heavy manufacturing benefit most, especially where motors and drives operate in hazardous zones. The four-wire/five-pole configuration supports proper grounding and control circuits, while the 480 Vac rating aligns with standard motor drives. The rugged aluminum housing and brass contacts withstand corrosive environments and high loads.
Expect NEC/CEC compliance and robust hazardous-location ratings, including Class I Division 1 and Class II Division 2 (as well as Class III and Class I Division 2). The product also carries relevant NEMA ratings (3, 4, 9, 12, 7) for additional protection. These certifications help meet safety, performance, and installation standards required for hazardous-area electrical equipment.
The copper-free aluminum housing reduces corrosion risk and weight, lowering maintenance costs and handling effort. Brass contacts offer reliable conductivity over time, supporting long service intervals. Its standard 0.875-1.375 inch cable range and four-wire/five-pole design simplify replacements and upgrades, delivering faster ROI through reduced downtime in hazardous-location power distributions.
