FAQs
To install the E1049X-24 plug with hex crimp or solder terminations, prepare the 777 kcmil conductor and select the correct hex crimp tooling or solder method recommended by Eaton. Ensure a copper contact seating, a tight seal for IP54 protection, and a secure connection that preserves the Zone 2 rating. Verify all terminations meet NEC/CEC requirements.
The plug supports up to 1135A continuous, uses 777 kcmil cable, and provides a 1000 Vac/dc rating. It is male, rubber-bodied with copper contacts and orange color for quick identification. It is Zone 2 rated and IP54, conforming to NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards for hazardous locations, enabling safe operation across demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The E1049X-24 is Zone 2 rated, with NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX certifications, IP54 protection, and a NEMA 3R enclosure. Its rugged rubber housing and copper contacts are designed for demanding hazardous locations, including oil, gas, and chemical processing, offering reliable performance and compliance in challenging field conditions.
The plug carries NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX certifications, Zone 2 hazardous location rating, IP54 ingress protection, and a NEMA 3R enclosure rating. These standards validate safe operation in hazardous environments, ensure equipment interoperability, and simplify procurement for regulated facilities, reducing risk during commissioning and ongoing maintenance.
The copper contact design and flexible termination options (hex crimp or solder) reduce connection resistance and improve uptime. Zone 2/IP54 compliance minimizes enclosure ingress issues, lowering maintenance frequency. Overall, the rugged Roughneck plug lowers total cost of ownership by shortening installation time, reducing rework, and extending service intervals in demanding industrial settings.
