FAQs
The E1012-8350 Cam-Lok plug accepts #2-2/0 AWG conductors and uses a double set screw termination with brass contacts. Typical installation tools include a compatible screwdriver for set screws and torque control per Eaton's EB 8 instruction sheet. Ensure conductors are properly stripped and seated to prevent arcing, and follow the provided installation guidelines for secure, code-compliant mating.
This plug is rated for up to 315A continuous and 550A intermittent at 120 VAC. For best results, pair it with compatible Cam-Lok receptacles and design feeders to stay within the continuous rating during normal operation while provisioning for intermittent peak demands. Always size protection and conductors to prevent overheating and ensure safe startup and shutdown sequences.
Yes. The E1012-8350 is built for ordinary/non-hazardous locations with a NEMA 3R rating, making it suitable for outdoor and indoor installations. Its rugged housing and brass contacts support reliable performance in environmental exposure while meeting NEC/CEC standards for safety and compliance.
The plug adheres to NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3R rating for weather-resistant installations. It is suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, aligning with typical industrial electrical codes and installation practices. Always verify site-specific requirements and local amendments when designing the power distribution scheme.
Regular inspection of the mating interface for corrosion, looseness, or wear is recommended. Check brass contacts for signs of discoloration or arcing and confirm the set screws remain torqued to spec. Using the Eaton installation sheets helps ensure proper assembly, reducing maintenance costs and downtime while extending connector life in high-cycle applications.
