FAQs
Power must be off before installation. Prepare conductors with ferrules if required, insert the conductors into the set-screw terminals, and tighten to the manufacturer-specified torque. Verify polarity and ensure the mating connector is clean and aligned before full engagement. Use the provided installation instructions to confirm proper sequence and safety steps.
The E1012-63 is part of Eaton Crouse-Hinds Cam-Lok F Series, sharing the same mating interface, contact materials, and termination method. It utilizes set-screw termination, brass contacts, and reinforced thermoplastic housing designed for 1/0-3/0 AWG, ensuring reliable mating with compatible F Series plugs and receptacles.
This plug supports NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 1 rating for ordinary locations. It is suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, helping facilities meet regulatory expectations while providing durable, safe operation in standard electrical environments.
By offering a high current rating with 1/0-3/0 AWG support and secure set-screw terminations, it reduces spare-part variety and downtime from misconnected or failed contacts. The durable reinforced housing and brass contacts extend service life, lowering maintenance costs and accelerating line start-up during upgrades or retrofits.
Yes. The E1012-63 is rated for 120 VAC operation and supports continuous current up to 315A with intermittent surges up to 550A. It is well suited for non-hazardous industrial panels, control rooms, and non-rare mission-critical loads requiring reliable, high-current connections.
