FAQs
E0400-153 is designed to mate with standard Eaton Crouse-Hinds Posi-Lok panels and plugs, using a male double-set-screw connection. Ensure cable size #2-2/0 AWG matches the terminal requirements, and verify the panel enclosure is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations. Proper tightening in the allotted torque range is essential to maintain vibration resistance and electrical integrity.
The E0400-153 is rated up to 400A continuous and supports 600 Vac/dc. It accepts #2-2/0 AWG conductors, with a male connector and double-set-screw termination. These ratings suit large feeders to panels and switchgear, providing a single, robust connection for high-current automation circuits.
Yes, the part is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards, making it suitable for indoor and controlled environments within industrial facilities. For outdoor exposure or hazardous locations, additional enclosure protection or a different product family should be considered to maintain compliance and safety.
The E0400-153 adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. This certification framework helps ensure regulatory compliance for electrical installations in industrial facilities and supports performance expectations like safe current handling and stable connections in typical industrial settings.
The design provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection that reduces loctite maintenance and re-termination frequency. Its high current rating minimizes the need for multiple parallel feeds, lowering wiring complexity and labor costs during installation and future maintenance, which translates to improved uptime and lower lifecycle costs for power distribution in automation projects.
