FAQs
The E1049-80 supports hexagon crimp or solder terminations for 313 kcmil copper conductors, enabling flexible on-site installation. The rugged rubber housing provides additional protection against moisture and dust, improving long-term reliability in heavy industrial environments. This combination reduces labor time by allowing technicians to choose the quickest, most secure termination method for motor feeders and power distribution runs.
The E1049-80 is rated up to 636A continuous and accommodates 313 kcmil copper conductors. It carries a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc and uses copper contacts inside a rubber-sealed housing. These specs make it suitable for high-current distribution in both AC and DC applications, while meeting NEC/CEC requirements for non-hazardous locations.
Yes. The E1049-80 is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and is rated to NEMA 3, which provides protection against dust and water intrusion in outdoor or damp environments. This makes it a reliable choice for outdoor equipment rooms, plant exteriors, and other non-hazardous industrial settings where weather resistance matters.
The E1049-80 complies with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3 rating. It is designed for use in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, aligning with typical industrial power distribution requirements while ensuring reliability and regulatory compliance in manufacturing and processing facilities.
Long-term ROI is driven by high current capacity, durable copper contacts, and a rugged rubber housing that resists moisture and contamination. Installation flexibility with crimp or solder methods reduces commissioning time, while the robust construction lowers downtime and maintenance costs in demanding facilities. Expect fewer field failures and a longer service life for critical feeders and high-amperage connections.
