Special features
Zone 2 rated
High current rating up to 898A continuous and a 535 kcmil cable capacity are matched by copper contacts and a rugged rubber body, enabling you to consolidate large motor connections into a single, robust plug. Business impact: fewer components, lower installation time, and reduced voltage drop on long runs in demanding environments. Application: heavy-duty motor feeders and high-amperage power-inlet points in mining, steel, or chemical processing facilities. The Zone 2 rated design, supported by NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX certifications, delivers compliant performance in hazardous locations, reducing compliance risk and enabling safer maintenance windows. Application: chemical plants, oil and gas sites, and other classified-area installations where regulatory alignment is non-negotiable. IP54 protection and a NEMA 3R enclosure rating defend against dust and splashes, improving uptime and minimizing service calls in dusty or wet environments. The yellow rubber enclosure and copper contacts support visibility and electrical integrity, while hexagon crimp or solder connection options provide flexible installation methods. This Roughneck plug is designed to integrate with existing Roughneck systems, enabling quick upgrades without reworking cables. Benefits include faster commissioning, consistent performance across temperature and vibration, and reduced total cost of ownership for large-scale electrical feeders.

FAQs

Yes. The E1049X-2 is designed for copper contacts with both hexagon crimp and solder connection options, supporting 535 kcmil cables. It integrates with the Roughneck family and requires standard crimp tooling for clean, repeatable terminations. Refer to IF 1777/IF 1778 installation sheets for detailed procedures and torque/ crimptool recommendations.
The E1049X-2 is rated for up to 898A continuous and 1000 Vac/dc, making it suitable for high-power motor feeders and large electrical loads in Zone 2 hazardous environments. Ensure cable size is 535 kcmil and verify routing and enclosure integrity per NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX guidelines.
Ideal for heavy industrial settings such as mining, metals processing, chemical plants, and oil and gas facilities where Zone 2 classifications apply. Its Zone 2 rating, IP54 protection, and NEMA 3R enclosure support reliable operation in harsh environments, while the 535 kcmil copper conductors accommodate high-current motor and feeder applications.
The E1049X-2 carries NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards with Zone 2 hazardous location certification, Class I, Division 2, IP54 ingress protection, and NEMA 3R enclosure rating. This combination ensures regulatory compliance for hazardous-area installations and reduces risk during commissioning and maintenance.
Access the Roughneck literature and installation sheets (IF 1777/IF 1778), brochures, and catalog pages listed in the product downloads. These resources aid fast installation, validation of certifications, and ongoing maintenance planning, delivering lower downtime and better lifecycle cost for high-amperage, hazardous-location connectors.
