FAQs
Installation requires surface or recessed mounting with space for the 8.5 inch length. Termination can be performed via hexagon crimp or solder, using copper contacts. Ensure the housing seals meet IP54 requirements and that the installation adheres to NEC Class I, Division 2 and IECEx/ATEX Zone 2 standards. Use the provided IF 1778 instruction sheets for step-by-step guidance.
The E1049X-7 supports up to 898A continuous current and accepts 535 kcmil conductors. It is rated for 1000 Vac/dc and is designed for copper contacts within a rubber housing, making it suitable for high-current feeders in demanding environments.
Industries such as chemical processing, mining, oil & gas, and offshore platforms benefit due to Zone 2 hazard classification, rugged IP54 protection, and high-current capability. It excels in large feeder connections, where reliability and regulator compliance significantly impact uptime and maintenance costs.
Certifications include Zone 2 hazardous area rating, Class I, Division 2 compliance, IECEx/ATEX, NEMA 3R, and IP54 ingress protection. These ratings ensure safe operation in hazardous locations and protection against dust and water ingress in rugged industrial environments.
By supporting hexagon crimp or solder terminations with copper contacts and a durable rubber housing, it reduces replacement frequency and field rework. Its high-current capability minimizes the number of parallel connectors, lowering inventory and labor costs while improving system reliability and uptime.
