FAQs

The E1049X-3 is designed for Zone 2 hazardous locations (IECEx/ATEX) with NEC Class I, Division 2 compliance and IP54 protection. It accepts up to 535 kcmil conductors and provides a high-current path for continuous service up to 898 A, making it suitable for heavy-duty power distribution in chemical plants, refineries, and similar environments.
Key specifications include a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc, amperage rating up to 898 A continuous, and a conductor size of 535 kcmil. The connector uses copper contacts and supports hexagon crimp or solder terminations, offering flexibility for field installation.
Yes. It is Zone 2 rated with IECEx/ATEX certification, and NEC Class I, Division 2 compliance, along with IP54 ingress protection and NEMA 3R compatibility. These certifications support safe operation in hazardous environments and align with common industrial safety standards.
Hex-crimp offers high pull-out strength and fast, repeatable installations with proper crimp tooling, while soldering provides a robust electrical path in tight spaces. Both options improve reliability in dirty or humid environments; consistent technique and approved tools are essential to maximize performance and minimize maintenance.
RegularInspection of seals and IP-rated integrity is advised; inspect copper contacts for corrosion and wear, and replace damaged components promptly. Follow the IF 1778 installation sheets for proper assembly, and consult the official literature to ensure continued compliance with Zone 2 and IP54 requirements during servicing.
