Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1049-73 Plug - NEMA 3
Part Number: E1049-73
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1049-73 plug enables high-amperage connections for roughneck industrial wiring. Manufacturers often struggle with secure terminations that tolerate 777 kcmil cables and 1000 V without overheating. This plug meets NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3 rating for ordinary locations and rugged environments. With a rubber body, copper contacts, and hex crimp or solder options, it delivers reliable, maintenance-friendly performance for critical power feeds. Its 8.5 inch length and 3 inch width support large cable assemblies in compact enclosures, helping installers save time and reduce downtime.

Feature: High amperage capability up to 1135 A continuous. Business Impact: Enables direct, robust feeder connections with fewer splices and reduced resistance losses, improving overall system efficiency. Application: Large industrial power feeds in mills, refineries, and switchgear cabinets. Feature: Cable size support of 777 kcmil. Business Impact: Accommodates very large feeders without re-termination, lowering material costs and installation time. Application: Main feeders and heavy-duty distribution panels where space permits large conductors. Feature: Termination optionsHexagon crimp or solder with copper contacts. Business Impact: Flexible on-site termination methods while maintaining low contact resistance and durable seals. Application: Field installs where crimp tooling or soldering capability may vary. Feature: Rubber body with orange color and 1000 Vac/dc rating. Business Impact: Enhanced insulation, visibility, and safety in harsh environments, reducing accidental contact and arcing risks. Application: Outdoor and industrial interiors with frequent handling. Feature: Compatibility with Roughneck series and documented installation guidance. Business Impact: Streamlines procurement and installation, reducing commissioning time and human-error risk. Application: OEM assemblies, maintenance outages, and retrofit projects where standardized high-amperage plugs are preferred.

FAQs
The E1049-73 is a high-amperage, female plug from the Roughneck family designed for large feeder connections in heavy industrial environments. It supports up to 777 kcmil cables, a 1000 Vac/dc rating, and copper contacts for reliable performance in typical non-hazardous locations. It suits switchgear feeds, motor distributions, and other high-current power paths in manufacturing facilities.
Key specs include a 777 kcmil cable size, continuous amperage up to 1135 A, a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc, copper contact material, and a rubber body with orange coloration. Termination is via hexagon crimp or solder, and it is rated for ordinary/non-hazardous locations per NEC/CEC with a NEMA 3 protection level.
The E1049-73 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and carries a NEMA 3 rating, making it suitable for rugged outdoor and indoor industrial environments. For hazardous locations, look for a product in a different rating class and ensure compliance with your site’s specific safety standards.
The plug is compatible with Roughneck E1049 series receptacles and supports hex crimp or solder terminations with copper contacts. Consider equipment enclosure space, conductor bend radii for 777 kcmil cables, and using the IF1778 installation sheets to guide torque, crimp quality, and safety practices during field installation.
Official resources include the Eaton Roughneck literature and the E1049-73 datasheet, as well as installation sheets IF 1778 and catalog pages. Access these from Eaton’s site: Roughneck brochure, installation instructions, and the E1049-73 specification sheet for detailed wiring and termination instructions.
