FAQs
The E1017-60 accepts 500 kcmil cables with a crimp contact termination. For best results, ensure use of matching Cam-Lok J Series receptacles and follow the EB 94 installation sheet guidance to achieve a proper, vibration-resistant crimp and seal. Confirm clearance for the 7.38 in length and 2.69 in width, and verify that the installation location is within ordinary/non-hazardous areas per NEC/CEC.
The plug is rated up to 545A continuous and supports 600 Vac/dc, enabling direct connection to large motors, feeders, and MCC gear. This high-current capability reduces the number of junctions, improves efficiency, and lowers overall wiring complexity in industrial power distribution.
Yes. The E1017-60 uses a rubber, vulcanized body and is rated for NEMA 4, making it appropriate for ordinary locations that may be exposed to moisture, dust, and washdown conditions. Ensure installation adheres to catalog and installation instructions for continued performance.
The E1017-60 aligns with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 4 rating for ordinary locations. This compliance supports code-adherent installations, simplifies regulatory reviews, and reduces risk in audits, especially in facilities with strict electrical safety requirements.
Plan for periodic inspection of the crimp connections and the rubber housing for signs of wear or moisture ingress. The brass contacts are designed for repeated mating cycles, but routine torque checks and a review of the mating surfaces help minimize contact resistance and downtime, delivering a favorable ROI through reduced maintenance events.
