FAQs
Yes. The E0400-284 is specified for 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors, making it suitable for high-current feeders to motors and power distribution panels. Ensure the mating panel or plug accepts the same conductor size and uses the same double set screw mechanism for a reliable, torque-retentive connection.
The E0400-284 supports up to 400A continuous current and a voltage rating of 600 Vac/dc. This combination enables direct connections to large motors and high-power feeders while maintaining compliance with NEC/CEC standards.
Yes. The product is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, aligning with NEC/CEC requirements for general industrial environments. This classification supports safer implementation without specialized explosion-proof or hazardous-area protections, provided installation guidelines are followed.
Install with matching Posi-Lok panels or plugs designed for 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors and ensure double set screws are tightened to the recommended torque. The red, thermoplastic elastomer housing helps resist environmental exposure, while the 600 Vac/dc rating accommodates both AC and DC power rails in panel designs.
