FAQs
The E1049X-37 supports hex crimp or solder terminations, allowing technicians to select the method best suited to the conductor size (313 kcmil) and tooling available. Begin by verifying conductor preparation, securing proper ferrules or solder tines, and ensuring a tight, low‑impedance connection. Follow manufacturer torque and crimping specifications, then verify continuity and insulation resistance before energizing. This approach minimizes risk, speeds up commissioning, and improves long‑term reliability in hazardous environments.
Key ratings include up to 636 A continuous amperage, 313 kcmil cable compatibility, and a 1000 Vac/dc voltage rating, with IP54 ingress protection and NEMA 3R suitability. These specs enable safe operation in demanding industrial settings, reduce heat buildup, and support reliable operation of large motors and feeders. By meeting IECEx/ATEX Zone 2 and NEC Class I Division 2 requirements, it also simplifies regulatory compliance and risk management.
Yes. The E1049X-37 is designed for 313 kcmil copper conductors and continuous operation up to 636 A, making it well suited for heavy machinery, pumps, and drives in industrial plants. Its Zone 2 rating and rugged rubber housing provide additional protection against hazardous environments, while the option for hex crimp or solder terminations supports versatile installation workflows.
The plug carries IECEx/ATEX Zone 2 and NEC Class I Division 2 certifications, along with IP54 ingress protection and NEMA 3R suitability.
