FAQs
For safe, compliant installations in Zone 2 and Class I, Division 2 settings, use copper conductors up to 777 kcmil with either hexagonal crimp or solder termination as specified. Ensure proper sealing and mounting to maintain IP54 and 3R protection. Verify compatibility with local standards (IECEx/ATEX, NEC) and confirm the connector is used with compatible mating devices and enclosures to prevent exposure to dust or moisture.
Yes. The E1049X-30 is certified for IECEx/ATEX and NEC Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations. This ensures the plug meets international and North American safety standards for explosive atmospheres, enabling compliant operation in Zone 2 environments and hazardous process areas without compromising performance or safety.
Best suited for heavy industrial power distribution in hazardous locations, including oil, gas, chemical processing, mining, and heavy manufacturing. Its Zone 2 rating, IP54 protection, and high current capability make it ideal for motor feeders, high-amperage power links, and equipment connections that require robust, compliant performance in challenging environments.
Key specs include up to 1135A continuous current, 777 kcmil cable size, 1000 Vac/dc voltage rating, and a copper contact design inside a rubber-bodied housing. It is a male plug with hexagon crimp or solder termination, gray in color, and protected to IP54 with NEMA 3R suitability for outdoor or damp applications.
Investing in the E1049X-30 reduces downtime by enabling fast, secure field terminations with hex crimp or solder options and large-conductor capability. Its Zone 2 and IP54/NEMA 3R protections minimize maintenance needs in harsh environments, while copper contacts deliver reliable low-resistance connections for years of service, improving overall system availability and return on investment.
