FAQs
Yes. The E1017-80 is designed for Cam-Lok J Series systems and supports up to 500 kcmil conductors with a crimp termination. This combination ensures a robust current path and reliable, repeatable connections in heavy-duty power layouts. For proper installation, use the recommended crimp tooling and follow the catalog instructions to maintain NEMA 4 performance and NEC/CEC compliance.
The plug is rated up to 545 A continuous and supports 600 Vac/dc. This makes it suitable for large motor feeders and high-current applications in automation, mining, and material handling. Planning should account for startup surges and conductor sizing up to 500 kcmil to maintain safe, efficient operation and compliance with electrical codes.
Yes. It carries a NEMA 4 rating and an ordinary/non-hazardous area classification, making it appropriate for wet, dusty, and washdown-prone locations. The vulcanized rubber body and brass contacts provide durability against moisture, oils, and abrasion, ensuring long service life in demanding industrial settings.
Crimp termination provides a solid, low-resistance connection with no solder joint, reducing the risk of joint degradation over time. It enables faster installation and easier field servicing with proper tooling, lowering maintenance costs and downtime while improving current-carrying capability and fidelity of the power path in demanding environments.
A full set of Eaton resources supports installation and specification clarity, including the Cam-Lok catalog pages, EB 94 instruction sheet for E1017, and the E1017-80 specification sheet. Access to brochures and catalog pages helps verify compatibility, proper crimping procedures, and compliance with NEC/CEC standards for safe, compliant installations.
