FAQs
The E1049X-18 plug is rated for up to 1000 Vac/dc, enabling safe high‑voltage power delivery for demanding industrial applications. This rating ensures compatibility with typical motor feeders and large-diameter cabling while maintaining protection in hazardous locations. The design supports reliable operation across continuous operating conditions, reducing overheating risks at connection points.
Yes. The E1049X-18 is Zone 2 rated and complies with IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC standards for hazardous areas. It is built to withstand Class I, Division 2 conditions and offers IP54 protection along with a NEMA 3R enclosure rating, supporting safe operation in outdoor or damp environments with reduced risk of ignition or ingress.
This plug supports up to 646 kcmil conductors and continuous amperage up to 1009 A. Such capacity makes it suitable for large motor feeders and high‑current distribution in demanding industrial settings, reducing the need for multiple smaller connectors and simplifying panel design.
The E1049X-18 uses hexagon crimp or solder connections with copper contacts. This provides a robust, low‑resistance path and is compatible with standard field‑termination practices. For maintenance, the option of soldering can offer superior heat dissipation on long runs, while hex crimping speeds up field assembly and reduces rework.
The plug offers improved reliability, safety, and regulatory compliance in hazardous locations, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. With up to 1009 A capacity and Zone 2/IECEx/ATEX NEC/CEC certifications, it streamlines procurement, simplifies troubleshooting, and supports long‑term cost savings through durable, field‑oriented construction.
