Eaton Specification Sheet - E0400-168
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Up to 400A continuous rating enables large power feeds for demanding panels, translating to fewer parallel connections and reduced wiring complexity in power distribution panels used in manufacturing lines. This supports faster commissioning and improved uptime for critical processes. Feature → Application: 3/0-4/0 AWG cable compatibility expands contractor options for feeders and main interconnections, reducing the need for oversized lugs and simplifying stock management on job sites. Feature → Application: Crimp termination with a male connector provides vibration resistance and reliable retention in equipment subject to service vibrations, ideal for conveyors and automated machinery. Feature → Application: Yellow, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) housing improves visibility and durability in harsh environments, supporting safer maintenance and longer service life. Feature → Application: NEC/CEC compliance in ordinary/non-hazardous locations ensures code-aligned installations that meet project and procurement standards, decreasing compliance-related risk and rework. Feature → Application: 600 Vac/dc rating supports diverse control and power supply architectures, enabling flexible integration across mixed-voltage systems while maintaining safety margins.
