FAQs
Install per NEC/CEC guidelines using the four-wire, five-pole configuration with Style 2 grounding. Verify cable diameter within 0.875–1.375 in and secure the housing to a compatible enclosure or interlock system. Ensure brass contacts are clean and seated properly to maintain optimal conductivity and fault protection in hazardous locations.
The plug is rated for 30A at 480 Vac and operates over a frequency range of 60–400 Hz. It uses a copper-free aluminum housing with brass contact material and supports a four-wire, five-pole configuration, making it suitable for grounding and control-circuit separation in demanding environments.
Yes. It is designed for hazardous locations with NEC/CEC compliance and area classifications including Class I Division 1/2, Class II Division 1/2, and Class III. Its NEMA ratings (3, 4, 7, 9, 12) provide robust protection for indoor and outdoor installations common in refineries and chemical processing facilities.
It carries NEC/CEC standards with hazardous-location ratings and area classifications for Class I/II/III in hazardous environments. It also aligns with NEMA protections 3, 4, 7, 9, 12 and includes UPC 782274043074 for traceability and cross-referencing in procurement systems.
The copper-free aluminum housing and brass contacts resist corrosion, reducing maintenance needs and extending service life. Its durable construction and broad compatibility with standard 30A/480 Vac systems minimize downtime, lower total cost of ownership, and simplify future replacements or upgrades in multi-site deployments.
