FAQs
The E1049X-4 Roughneck plug is designed to accept 535 kcmil conductors and offers hexagon crimp or solder termination. This enables direct, secure field terminations with copper contacts and rubber housing, reducing the need for intermediate adapters and improving reliability in demanding environments.
It delivers up to 898 A continuous and 1000 Vac/dc, with Zone 2 IECEx/ATEX approvals and NEC Class I, Division 2 protection. The enclosure is IP54 rated and compatible with NEMA 3R requirements, making it suitable for hazardous locations and outdoor installations.
Industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and water/wastewater plants benefit due to Zone 2 classification and robust electrical ratings. It is ideal for heavy feeders, pump skids, and large motor feeders where reliable, compliant high-amperage connections are critical.
Verify Zone 2 IECEx/ATEX approvals, NEC Class I, Division 2 rating, IP54 ingress protection, and NEMA 3R enclosure compatibility. These align with hazardous-location standards and help ensure ongoing regulatory compliance and safer operation in classified environments.
Field-term compatible termination reduces installation time, fewer splices, and lower maintenance costs over time. The rugged rubber housing and copper contacts improve conductivity and durability, lowering failure rates in harsh environments and delivering longer service intervals for critical power feeders.
