Yes. The E1049X-69 supports up to 646 kcmil cables and up to 1009A continuous current. Terminations are available via hexagon crimp or solder methods using copper contacts, with a rubber housing for sealing. Follow appropriate torque and crimp standards and ensure proper strain relief to maintain IP54 integrity and Zone 2 compliance during field installs.
The plug is rated for up to 1009A continuous and 1000 Vac/dc, enabling direct connection for high-load equipment such as motors and pumps. For duty cycles and startup transients, design the system to stay within the continuous rating and provide adequate fault protection. Use compatible mating connectors and conform to NEC/CEC guidelines for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations.
Ideal for hazardous locations found in oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, and water treatment plants. Zone 2 rated, IP54 protection, and NEMA 3R compatibility make it well-suited for damp, dusty areas with potential gas or vapor exposure, where reliable high-current connections and quick field servicing are required.
The plug carries IECEx/ATEX certification for Zone 2, NEC/CEC Class I, Division 2 compliance, IP54 ingress protection, and NEMA 3R suitability. These certifications support compliance in multiple jurisdictions and streamline procurement by meeting major global electrical safety standards for hazardous locations.
The Roughneck E1049X-69 reduces downtime through robust field-terminations, reliable copper contacts, and a durable rubber housing that resists harsh environments. Its Zone 2 and IP54 certifications minimize regulatory risk, while long service life and straightforward maintenance translate to lower replacement and labor costs over the equipment’s lifecycle.
