Eaton Specification Sheet - E1049-77
Up to 1135A continuous, 777 kcmil conductors are supported by the E1049-77, enabling direct high-current feeds to large motors and feeders. This capacity reduces the number of terminations and minimizes voltage drop across long runs, translating into measurable efficiency gains on the plant floor. Use this in main distribution panels and high-demand wiring closets to simplify layouts and improve reliability in heavy manufacturing environments. Voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc ensures safe operation with both AC and DC power, providing a common solution for mixed-duty drives. Copper contacts maintain low contact resistance over time, supporting consistent performance and reducing heat buildup under heavy loads. In retrofit projects, this single component can replace multiple lower-rated connectors, streamlining procurement and spare-part inventories. Hexagon crimp or solder termination options deliver secure, maintenance-friendly terminations. This flexibility reduces field rework and supports both controlled factory assembly and on-site installations, saving time and money. The rugged rubber housing protects against abrasion and minor moisture exposure, extending service life in ordinary locations. Brown color and Rubber material contribute to durable resistance in typical plant environments while maintaining flexibility for field repairs. Copper contact material provides reliable conductivity and durability against corrosion, lowering maintenance costs over the life of the installation. Coupled with Roughneck connectors, technicians experience faster replacements and fewer compatibility issues in electrical rooms and switchgear housings. Compliant with NEC/CEC standards and rated for NEMA 3 enclosures, E1049-77 helps ensure code compliance and safer installations. For procurement teams, the combination of high amperage, robust materials, and established documentation reduces risk during audits and ensures consistent performance across equipment fleets.
