FAQs
The E1049-72 supports up to 777 kcmil copper conductors and provides an amperage rating up to 1135A continuous with a 1000 Vac/dc rating. It uses hexagon crimp or solder terminations and a rubber housing, making it suitable for large feeder connections in ordinary/non-hazardous industrial locations.
This plug is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3 rating, enabling use in ordinary locations with weather and exposure considerations appropriate for non-hazardous environments. These certifications support compliance during design review and field installations.
Yes. The E1049-72 is specified for hexagon crimp or solder terminations, giving technicians flexible field-install options. The combination of copper contacts and a rugged rubber housing supports reliable connections without requiring specialized tooling beyond standard crimping or soldering equipment.
The copper contacts and rubber housing are designed for durability under high-current service. For maintenance, inspect the connector for signs of wear, ensure correct cable sizing (777 kcmil), and verify termination integrity during routine inspections. Its compatibility with Roughneck systems simplifies replacements and spares management.
By supporting up to 1135A continuous and large 777 kcmil conductors with reliable copper contacts, the E1049-72 reduces the number of terminations and potential failure points. This translates to lower downtime, faster maintenance, and a streamlined supply of compatible Roughneck components, delivering cost savings over the lifecycle of heavy-current power distribution systems.
