FAQs
To install the E1049X-32, prepare 313 kcmil copper conductors, ensure clean, undamaged insulation, and select the appropriate hex crimp or solder termination tooling. Use proper torque and crimp height specifications to maintain IP54 integrity. Verify Zone 2 or Division 2 compliance in the enclosure; complete all stainless or rubber housing seals before energizing.
The E1049X-32 is IECEx/ATEX certified for Zone 2 hazardous locations and NEC Class I, Division 2. This ensures safe operation where flammable atmospheres may be present but are not continuously ignited. The IP54 rating further guards against dust and water ingress, improving reliability in industrial environments such as chemical processing and oil/gas facilities.
Yes. The plug is designed for 313 kcmil cable sizing and supports up to 636 A continuous. Copper contact materials and robust rubber housing enable high-conductivity connections. When selecting this plug, confirm enclosure space and conductor routing to realize the full amperage capability without compromising sealing or ease of maintenance.
The E1049X-32 carries IECEx/ATEX certification and NEC Class I, Division 2 approval, plus IP54 and NEMA 3R ratings. These certifications cover hazardous-location safety, environmental protection, and compatibility with standard industrial wiring practices. Ensure your project documentation reflects Zone 2 compliance and that downstream components meet corresponding regional standards.
Expected benefits include reduced downtime due to reliable, sealed connections and longer service life from rugged rubber housing and copper contacts. The interface supports quick hex crimp or solder terminations, simplifying maintenance and retrofit work. Over the asset life, these features translate to lower maintenance labor costs and improved uptime for mission-critical motors and feeders.
