FAQs
The E0400-258 supports #2-2/0 AWG cables. It uses a double-set-screw connection to secure conductors, requiring proper torque and trimmed conductors per the installation sheet. When wiring, ensure panel knockouts and gland entries protect against strain, and use appropriate lugs and torque values to maximize termination integrity and service life.
The plug is rated for up to 400A continuous current and a voltage rating of 600 Vac/dc. It is female and uses a double-set-screw connection, with a yellow thermoplastic elastomer housing designed for durable, high-current industrial power connections in non-hazardous locations.
Yes. The E0400-258 is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and adheres to NEC/CEC standards, simplifying compliance for panel builders and OEMs while maintaining reliable performance in standard industrial environments.
This plug is ideal for power distribution panels, motor feeder connections, and OEM equipment in manufacturing and processing facilities. Its high current rating, DC/AC compatibility, and compatibility with #2-2/0 AWG cables make it well-suited for permanent, high-load connections in non-hazardous industrial settings.
Expect reduced downtime from more reliable terminations and faster commissioning thanks to the double-set-screw design and straightforward installation. The durable yellow TPE housing provides chemical resistance and visibility, supporting safer maintenance and longer service life, which translates into lower total cost of ownership for power distribution infrastructure.
