FAQs
The E1049-85 supports hexagon crimp or solder copper contacts, enabling secure terminations for 313 kcmil conductors. To maximize reliability, use the correct crimp tooling and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for tension and seating depth. This ensures low contact resistance and reduces maintenance calls in high-current applications.
This plug provides up to 636A continuous current and accepts 313 kcmil copper conductors, with a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc. These specs support heavy power distribution in industrial enclosures, delivering reliable performance in both AC and DC systems.
The E1049-85 is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards. It carries a NEMA Rating of 3, making it suitable for typical indoor and protected outdoor environments where robust protection against moisture and dust is required.
Common applications include high-amperage feeders and power distribution in industrial enclosures, data centers, mining, and manufacturing plants. The plug supports large conductor sizes and high current, enabling compact, efficient power junctions and simplifying retrofits or upgrades in existing installations.
Key considerations include using the correct hex crimp tools or soldering procedures for copper contacts, ensuring clean cable preparation, and verifying proper seating in a rubber housing for environmental sealing. These steps reduce resistance, prevent premature failures, and shorten commissioning time, delivering a faster return on investment.
