High-amperage capability up to 898 A continuous provides a single-connector solution for large motors and feeders, reducing the number of terminations and assembly time while boosting system reliability. This directly translates to shorter shutdowns and lower labor costs during installation and maintenance in heavy industrial environments. The 535 kcmil cable compatibility enables massive feeders with fewer splices, improving voltage drop control and overall efficiency in power distribution networks. Hexagon crimp or solder termination options offer installation flexibility, allowing field technicians to select the best method for their tools and cables, which speeds commissioning and service. Copper contacts paired with a durable rubber housing deliver robust, vibration-tolerant connections that resist wear and corrosion, cutting maintenance intervals and replacement expenses. The 1000 Vac/dc rating supports future system upgrades and diverse load profiles, while the orange color improves visibility in crowded panels and cable trays, reducing mispairing during maintenance. The Roughneck design, aligned with NEC/CEC standards and NEMA 3 protection, ensures dependable performance in ordinary locations and non-hazardous environments, supporting safer, compliant installations. Overall, the E1049-4 combines mechanical strength with electrical performance to reduce downtime, extend service life, and simplify spares planning for large-power applications.

FAQs
Prepare the 535 kcmil conductors and select the hexagon crimp or solder termination. Ensure copper contacts are clean and properly seated in the plug body, then use the correct crimp tooling to secure the connection. Verify the rubber housing seals, align the plug with its mate, and follow NEC/CEC installation procedures to maintain integrity and safety.
Yes. The E1049-4 is designed as part of the Roughneck family and accepts 535 kcmil feeders with hexagon crimp or solder terminations. It mates with compatible Roughneck plugs and connectors, ensuring consistent copper contact engagement. Check that cable size, insulation, and enclosure ratings match your system, and use standard mounting practices for a secure fit.
Ideal for large-power feeders and motor circuits in non-hazardous industrial environments. Suitable for service entrances, process lines, and machine centers where up to 898 A continuous and 535 kcmil cables are required. The rugged rubber housing and high-current copper contacts support reliable, long-term operation in plants with limited space and high vibration.
The E1049-4 carries NEC/CEC compliance and a NEMA 3 rating for protection in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. Area classification confirms suitability for non-hazardous environments. For full details, consult the installation sheets IF 1777, the Roughneck catalog page, and the official E1049-4 data sheet included in Eaton literature.
Investing in a single robust, high-amperage plug reduces parts count and maintenance complexity. Copper contacts and a rubber body resist wear, while easy hex crimp or solder terminations speed field service. The 1000 Vac/dc rating supports future upgrades without rewiring, reducing downtime, labor costs, and spare-part inventory.
