FAQs
The E1049X-5 supports 535 kcmil conductors and offers both hexagon crimp and solder termination options. This dual compatibility streamlines field installs by allowing technicians to choose the most efficient method for the given cable geometry, reducing termination time and ensuring a tight, reliable copper-to-copper contact.
This plug meets IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC standards, with Zone 2 hazardous-location rating, NEC Class I, Division 2, and IP54/NEMA 3R protection. These certifications confirm safe operation in classified areas and provide documentation for regulatory compliance and project sign-off.
Yes. The device is rated for 1000 Vac/dc, enabling flexible use across mixed power systems. This dual-voltage capability simplifies design and stocking for facilities that operate both AC and DC equipment, while maintaining robust performance and safety margins.
Industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, mining, and other hazardous locations benefit most. Zone 2 rating provides protection against gas and dust ingress, IP54 protection helps resist splashes and contaminants, and NEMA 3R compatibility supports outdoor or exposed installations.
The rubber housing and copper contacts resist corrosion and wear, lowering replacement cycles. Hex crimp or solder terminations offer installation flexibility, speeding up assembly, while the compact yet durable design minimizes service crew exposure and downtime in tough environments.
