FAQs

The E1049-74 is designed for 777 kcmil conductors and supports both hexagon crimp and solder terminations. Copper contacts provide low resistance and stable conductivity, while the rubber housing resists moisture, dust, and wear. This compatibility enables reliable field terminations for high-current feeders in mining, manufacturing, and heavy industry installations.
The E1049-74 delivers up to 1135A continuous with a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc. This combination supports large motor feeders and high-current distribution while maintaining safe operation margins. It is suitable for demanding industrial power circuits and panel feeders in non-hazardous environments.
Yes. The plug is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and carries a NEMA 3 rating, aligning with NEC/CEC standards. This makes it appropriate for standard factory floors and outdoor-adjacent applications where environmental exposure is present but not classified as hazardous.
Roughneck E1049 resources are available through Eaton’s literature portal, including installation sheets IF 1777 and 1778, a catalog page, and the E1049-74 specification sheet. Access brochures, catalogs, and datasheets to verify termination methods, cable compatibility, and mounting recommendations for your project.
The E1049-74 reduces downtime through reliable copper contacts, robust rubber housing, and flexible termination options (hex crimp or solder). Its high current rating and durable construction lower splice frequency, simplify field assemblies, and extend service life, delivering lower lifecycle costs and improved uptime for heavy-duty power distribution.
