60A at 480 Vac with a broad frequency range of 60-400 Hz supports heavy-duty motors, pumps, and process-control panels, reducing the need for multiple connectors across equipment. The three-wire, four-pole configuration simplifies wiring and enhances fault-path safety in control cabinets, speeding commissioning. Style 2 grounding provides a robust, reliable ground path, boosting enclosure safety and compliance in hazardous environments. Copper-free aluminum housing lowers weight and improves corrosion resistance, while brass contacts ensure low resistance and durable mating performance, translating to lower maintenance costs and longer service life. The 0.500-0.875 inch cable diameter range accommodates common field cables, enabling quicker installations and fewer adapters. NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA ratings 3, 4, 7, 9, 12 deliver regulatory confidence and uptime in hazardous locations. Compatibility with BHR and SRD explosion-proof interlock receptacles simplifies system integration, backed by installation sheets and datasheets for fast field deployment. With a 5.22 lb weight, handling on site is easier and safer, supporting efficient panel builds and service routines.
