FAQs
The E1017-21 uses a crimp termination to secure 800 kcmil conductors, requiring proper crimp tooling and copper-to-brass contact alignment. Begin by preparing the cable, stripping to the specified length, and inserting into the brass contact. Use the recommended crimp die to ensure a gas-tight, low-resistance joint, then mate with the corresponding receptacle. Always follow Eaton EB 94 installation guidance for torque values, sealing, and inspection to guarantee NEMA 4 integrity and continuous performance.
The E1017-21 is certified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations with NEC/CEC standards and a NEMA 4 rating. It is not intended for use in hazardous (classified) environments unless specifically approved by the manufacturer. For facilities requiring hazardous-area compliance, evaluate alternative Cam-Lok configurations or enclosure ratings that meet your exact zone requirements and safety procedures.
This plug supports up to 690A continuous current and a voltage rating of 600 Vac/dc. It is designed for 800 kcmil conductors, making it suitable for high-current feeders and heavy machinery connections. In practice, verify your cable terminations and enclosure clearance to ensure full performance within the NEC/CEC framework and maintain a safe operating window.
