High amperage capability up to 1135 A continuous means you can power large motors and drives with a single, reliable plug, reducing junctions and potential fault points. In practice, this translates to shorter switchgear runs and fewer termination points in heavy industrial plants, supporting faster commissioning and easier maintenance. The 777 kcmil cable size and 1000 V rating enable distribution for demanding power paths without oversized equipment. With hexagon crimp or solder connections, installation is flexible for diverse field conditions and technician preferences, improving first‑time right assemblies and serviceability. IP54 protection, NEMA 3R enclosure, and Zone 2/Class I Division 2 certifications ensure reliable operation in moisture, dust, and limited outdoor exposure, reducing unplanned downtime. The rubber housing and copper contacts offer durable wear resistance and excellent conductivity, delivering long‑term performance in corrosive or demanding environments while keeping maintenance costs predictable. This product integrates seamlessly with Roughneck high‑amperage systems, supporting rapid upgrades or retrofits in mining, chemical processing, and water treatment facilities.

FAQs
The E1049X-71 is designed for 777 kcmil conductors and supports hexagon crimp or solder connections to deliver up to 1135 A continuous at 1000 V. It is Zone 2 and Class I Division 2 certified with IP54/NEMA 3R protection, making it suitable for hazardous-area power distributions, mining, chemical plants, and other demanding installations.
Ensure the system is de‑energized and lockout/tagout procedures are followed. Use a compatible hex crimp tool or soldering method as specified, select the correct conductor size (777 kcmil), and verify IP54 sealing after mating. Follow manufacturer torque and assembly guidelines to maintain hazardous-location certifications and achieve reliable termination integrity.
The plug carries IECEx/ATEX Zone 2 and NEC/CEC Class I, Division 2 certifications, along with IP54 and NEMA 3R ratings. These approvals cover hazardous-area operation, moisture and dust ingress protection, and suitability for restricted environments, helping you stay compliant in chemical, petrochemical, and mining applications.
Yes. The rugged rubber housing, copper contacts, and sealed design minimize corrosion and contact wear, reducing maintenance cycles. The 777 kcmil, 1135 A rating supports fewer components and junctions, lowering downtime during maintenance and simplifying inspections in Zone 2 facilities.
The unit measures 8.5 inches in length, 3 inches in width, and 3 inches in height, with an approximate weight of 5.5 lb. It is yellow, rubber‑bodied, and designed for heavy-duty industrial use with copper contacts and Zone 2 rated seals to maintain performance in challenging environments.
