Eaton Specification Sheet - BHP3485D
High-current, high-voltage capability translates to fewer connectors and reduced electrical losses across heavy machinery, improving overall line efficiency while maintaining safe operation at 30 A and 480 Vac. The copper-free aluminum housing paired with brass contacts delivers corrosion resistance and lower weight, enhancing handling during installation and reducing crane or labor costs on large-scale projects. Cable diameter compatibility of 0.875-1.375 in enables flexible field wiring with common industrial cables, lowering inventory complexity and speeding up commissioning in new builds or retrofits. Grounding via Style 2 ensures robust fault protection in environments with conductive contaminants, while meeting NEMA ratings 3, 4, 7, 9, 12 for reliability in outdoor, chemical, and high-vibration settings. The three-wire, four-pole configuration supports safe, code-compliant power distribution with straightforward mating to compatible receptacles, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime. With NEC/CEC alignment and hazard-area approvals, procurement and installation teams can standardize across facilities, supporting compliance and reducing total cost of ownership over the product lifecycle.
