FAQs
Installation should be performed by qualified technicians. Use hexagon crimp or solder termination with copper contacts, ensure the rubber seals are intact, and follow the IF 1778 installation sheets for Roughneck E1049 series. Verify Zone 2 compliance, IP54 protection, and correct cable size (535 kcmil) for the 898 A rating. Tighten to spec and inspect for vibration resistance after assembly.
The 535 kcmil conductor supports up to 898 A continuous, enabling large feeders in a single connector and reducing the number of splices. This minimizes voltage drop on long runs and improves overall system efficiency. It simplifies harness design in heavy equipment installations and ensures reliable power delivery in demanding environments.
Yes. The E1049X-57 is rated for 1000 Vac/dc, allowing use with AC and DC systems alike. This versatility supports mixed-power environments common in control panels and motor drives, while the hexagon crimp or solder terminations provide stable, vibration-resistant connections essential for hazardous locations.
The plug carries Zone 2 hazardous location certification, NEC Class I, Division 2 ratings, IECEx/ATEX approvals, IP54 ingress protection, and NEMA 3R suitability. These certifications facilitate compliant installations across multiple regions and help minimize regulatory risk for offshore, chemical, and heavy-industrial facilities.
The rugged design reduces frequent maintenance by delivering durable copper contacts and vibration-resistant terminations. Fewer connectors and splices mean lower spares inventory, faster commissioning, and improved uptime. The product’s official installation literature also supports quicker training and audit readiness, delivering measurable life-cycle cost savings in demanding plants.
