Feature: High-current capability up to 400A continuous and 600 Vac/dc translates to fewer feeders and smaller enclosures in demanding motor drive applications. This enables OEMs to reduce assembly time, cut inventory complexity, and lower overall system impedance for improved performance. Feature: Wide conductor compatibility with 3/0-4/0 AWG cables allows direct, reliable power leads without intermediate adapters, decreasing potential failure points and simplifying sourcing. Application: Ideal for power distribution panels and large motor starters where space, conductor integrity, and maintenance efficiency are critical. Feature: Crimp termination paired with a Thermoplastic Elastomer housing provides a robust electrical and environmental seal, supporting long-term uptime in non-hazardous locations. Application: Field installation and service in clean to moderately dirty industrial environments. Feature: Distinctive red housing with male connector design minimizes mating errors and aids rapid panel assembly, improving first-pass wiring accuracy and reducing commissioning time. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance and suitability for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations streamline regulatory acceptance across facilities, cutting risk during audits and deployments. Feature: Documentation and installation support, including EB 168 and the E0400-164 datasheet, enable faster training, accurate installations, and scalable retrofit programs across multiple panels and locations.

FAQs

The E0400-164 plug is designed for 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors with a crimp termination and 600 Vac/dc rating, suitable for Eaton Crouse-Hinds Posi-Lok panels and similar high-current power distribution assemblies in non-hazardous locations.
Install the E0400-164 using a standard crimp tool for 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors and follow the EB 168 installation sheet for plugs and panels. Additional guidance is provided in the E0400-164 datasheet to ensure correct mating and torque-free crimping.
No. The E0400-164 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per NEC/CEC standards, making it appropriate for standard industrial environments but not for hazardous or classified areas without additional protection.
The plug complies with NEC/CEC standards, ensuring compliance with widely adopted electrical codes and improving interoperability across vendors and facilities, which simplifies audits and project approvals in non-hazardous environments.
ROI improvements come from reduced installation time, fewer fault points due to direct 3/0-4/0 AWG crimp connections, and lower maintenance needs from a robust TPE housing and reliable high-current performance, translating to less downtime and more consistent power delivery.
