High-current capability directly translates to fewer terminations and fewer parallel connections, enabling larger motors and feeders with a single, secure plug. The up to 400A continuous rating supports efficient power distribution while reducing cascading bottlenecks in control panels. The 3/0-4/0 AWG cable size compatibility expands application versatility, from machine feeds to modular distribution blocks, with a reliable mating interface that minimizes downtime. The double set screw connection offers enhanced vibration resistance, ensuring stable performance in dusty, high-vibration environments typical of manufacturing floors. The thermoplastic elastomer housing provides chemical and impact resistance, extending service life in demanding plants. 600 Vac/dc compatibility supports both AC and DC systems, simplifying inventory for mixed-technology facilities. All of these features align with NEC/CEC compliance and ordinary/non-hazardous location approvals, giving procurement teams confidence in safety and reliability. In practice, this translates to lower maintenance costs, faster installation, and improved uptime for critical line-side connections across power distribution panels and plugs.

FAQs
The E0400-183 is designed for up to 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors with a continuous rating of 400A and a 600 Vac/dc voltage. It uses a double-set-screw connection for secure mating and is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. It pairs with Posi-Lok panels and plugs for reliable power distribution in industrial environments.
Install by preparing the 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors, securing each conductor under the double set screws, and verifying a tight, vibration-resistant connection. Ensure the mating receptacle is compatible with Posi-Lok E0400-series devices and that the enclosure environment is within ordinary/non-hazardous location classifications. Inspect for secure seating and test continuity after installation.
Yes. The E0400-183 plug is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards and is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, ensuring safe operation in standard industrial settings without requiring hazardous-location enclosures.
Ideal for power distribution panels, motor feeders, and industrial control panels that require high current handling and reliable connections. The 3/0-4/0 AWG range and 600 Vac/dc rating make it suitable for mixed AC/DC systems in temperate manufacturing floors, packaging lines, and process equipment.
By delivering up to 400A continuous current with a robust double-set-screw interface and durable TPE housing, the E0400-183 reduces field rework, vibration-related loosening, and downtime. This translates to lower maintenance costs, faster commissioning, and longer interval upkeep for critical power connections in high-demand production environments.
