FAQs
To install the E1049-7, select the hexagon crimp or solder termination method based on your field capability. Prepare 535 kcmil conductors with appropriate stripping length, seat copper contacts fully, then crimp or solder per the IF 1778 instruction sheets. Use the provided rubber housing to seal and protect the lug connections, and verify insulation integrity before energizing. Always follow NEC/CEC guidelines and conductor torque specifications from the official installation sheets.
The E1049-7 is rated for up to 898 A continuous current and supports a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc. It is designed for 535 kcmil conductors, with a male plug configuration and copper contact material. This combination provides high-load capacity for motors and heavy feeders while maintaining reliable conductivity under industrial conditions.
Yes. The E1049-7 is certified for ordinary/non-hazardous locations with NEC/CEC standards and a NEMA 3 rating. Its rubber body and copper contacts are designed to withstand typical plant environments, including exposure to dust and incidental moisture, making it suitable for motor connections and power distribution in non-hazardous areas.
The E1049-7 adheres to NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3 rating, indicating suitability for dry, non-hazardous locations. It is intended for ordinary-location applications and complies with typical industrial safety and performance requirements, ensuring consistent electrical integrity in daily plant operations.
The Roughneck E1049-7 provides durable copper contacts within a rubber housing, offering reliable long-term conductivity and moisture resistance. This minimizes maintenance intervals, reduces the risk of corroded connections, and lowers total cost of ownership by decreasing downtime and replacement frequency in high-load interconnects.
