Eaton Specification Sheet - E1017-378
High-current capability up to 545A continuous translates to fewer parallel connections and smaller switchgear footprints. Business impact includes reduced equipment count, lower space requirements, and decreased maintenance overhead, especially in large-scale feeders for motors and presses. Application: heavy manufacturing lines, conveyors, and mining operations benefit from reliable, scalable power interconnects. Cable size compatibility of 350-500 kcmil allows direct use of large feeders, eliminating adapters and simplifying spare parts inventory. This translates to faster installation and lower total installed cost in chemical processing plants and steel mills. The double set screw connection provides a secure mechanical and electrical latch, resisting vibration and arcing. This yields reduced downtime and safer maintenance in outdoor and rugged environments. Application: outdoor substations and heavy automation panels in oil, gas, and mining facilities. Brass contacts deliver low contact resistance and long service life, improving overall electrical efficiency and reducing heat buildup in continuous operations. Application: high-current distribution in automation cabinets and switchgear. Rubber, non-vulcanized housing in bright orange enhances durability and visibility, aiding quick identification and maintenance in crowded panels or dense equipment rooms. This supports safer, faster field work and fewer misconnections. 600 Vac/dc rating paired with NEC/CEC compliance ensures reliable performance across AC and DC applications, while the NEMA 3R enclosure protection provides weather resistance for indoor/outdoor use. Application: outdoor installations, portable power distribution, and temporary setups where robust protection is required.
