FAQs

To install the E0400-292, ensure power is off and prepare cable ends to ensure clean, square terminations. Insert the conductors into the plug housing, align with the mating panel, and secure with the double set screws as specified. Use the EB 168 instruction sheet for torque and seating guidance to achieve a reliable, vibration-resistant connection suitable for up to 400A continuous and 600 Vac/dc.
The E0400-292 is rated for up to 400A continuous current and supports a voltage of 600 Vac/dc. It is designed for 3/0-4/0 AWG cable sizes and uses a female connector with a double set screw to ensure a secure, low-impedance connection in industrial environments, delivering consistent performance in non-hazardous locations.
Yes. The E0400-292 is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and NEC/CEC compliance, making it suitable for power distribution panels, heavy machinery, and portable equipment in typical manufacturing, process, and utilities settings. Its robust TPE housing and clear color coding enhance reliability and installation accuracy in demanding industrial workflows.
This plug complies with NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. The combination of the 600 Vac/dc rating and the Posi-Lok design provides regulatory alignment for industrial automation projects while ensuring safe, compliant operation in non-hazardous environments.
Using the E0400-292 reduces downtime by delivering secure mating and reliable connections at high current with minimal retorque cycles, thanks to the robust double set screws and durable TPE body. Fewer connector points and rapid field terminations lower maintenance costs, while the 3/0-4/0 AWG compatibility simplifies inventory and spare parts, contributing to faster service and lower total cost of ownership.
