FAQs
To install, select the appropriate hexagon crimp tool or solder method and prepare 444 kcmil copper conductors per tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure insulation remains intact, inspect copper contacts for clean surfaces, and securely mate the plug with its corresponding connector. Verify seals and IP54 enclosure integrity after termination and perform a continuity and insulation resistance check before energizing the circuit.
The E1049X-202 plug provides up to 796A continuous current, a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc, and supports 444 kcmil cables. It is Zone 2 and Class I, Division 2 rated, IP54 protected, with a NEMA 3R enclosure. Its copper contacts and rubber body are designed for long life in harsh industrial settings, including vibration and exposure to contaminants.
Yes. The plug is Zone 2 rated and NEC/CEC along with IECEx/ATEX certified for hazardous locations, including Class I, Division 2 environments. This makes it a dependable choice for oil, gas, and related processing facilities where safety and regulatory compliance are critical, while maintaining high current capacity and rugged performance.
Compliance is supported by NEC/CEC standards, IECEx/ATEX hazardous location certification, NEC hazardous rating Class I, Division 2, IP54 ingress protection, and NEMA 3R enclosure rating. These certifications streamline approvals, inspections, and ongoing maintenance in diverse regulatory landscapes across North America and international sites.
Maintenance benefits include durable copper contacts, robust rubber housing, and field-terminable connections that resist wear and weathering. ROI advantages come from reduced downtime due to rapid, reliable terminations, fewer splices, and easier spares planning within Roughneck-compatible systems, ultimately lowering total upkeep costs in hazardous-location facilities.
