FAQs
To install, prepare the 800 kcmil conductor for crimping according to the manufacturer’s instructions (EB 94 sheet is referenced for Cam-Lok E1017, E1019, E1023). Use the correct crimp tooling, ensure proper contact seating, and verify insulation clearance before mating with the receptacle. The procedure minimizes resistance losses and ensures a robust, code-compliant connection in industrial environments.
The E1017-70 is rated up to 690A continuous and supports 600 Vac/dc. This makes it suitable for high-power feeders and mixed-voltage drives in heavy automation, while maintaining a compliant, safe interface with Cam-Lok receptacles.
Yes, it is designed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations with a NEMA 4 rating, providing protection against dust and water ingress in many outdoor and wet plant areas. Proper installation and mating procedures should still follow standard safety practices to maintain integrity in harsh conditions.
The connector adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous sites. This aligns with typical industrial power distribution requirements and ensures compatibility with commonly used electrical components in automation systems.
Investing in the E1017-70 reduces downtime by delivering quick, reliable field connections with durable vulcanized rubber housing and brass contacts. Routine inspection of crimp joints, seals, and mating surfaces, plus using manufacturer-lubricated contacts when specified, extends life and lowers total cost of ownership through fewer repairs and replacements.
