Special features
Zone 2 rated
High amperage capability enables direct connection to large motors and feeders (up to 1135A continuous) using 777 kcmil copper contacts. This reduces the number of transitions and splices, accelerating installation and reducing downtime in heavy industry environments. Zone 2 rating combined with IP54/NEMA 3R protection safeguards personnel and equipment in hazardous areas, lowering regulatory risk and weather-induced failures for outdoor substations and outdoor power distribution. Flexibility in termination supports both hex crimp and solder methods, enabling field technicians to use the technique they are most proficient with and speeding repairs without compromising performance. Rubber housing and a 1000 Vac/dc rating provide robust insulation and wider voltage compatibility, simplifying mixed-voltage installations across plant sections. Compatibility with the Roughneck ecosystem ensures supply-chain consistency, easier spares, and streamlined maintenance programs for plants using high-amperage, rugged connectors.
