FAQs
The E1049X-75 supports 777 kcmil conductors with copper contacts and a continuous current rating up to 1135A, enabling reliable, high-duty use in large feeder applications. Its hexagon crimp or solder terminations provide flexible termination options for robust, low-resistance connections in demanding installations such as pumps, fans, and large motors.
This plug is certified for Hazardous/Classified Locations (Area classification) and supports NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards. It is Zone 2 rated, IP54 protected, and NEMA 3R compliant, making it appropriate for chemical plants, refineries, and other areas with flammable or explosive atmospheres.
Installation supports hexagon crimp or solder terminations. Crimping provides fast, repeatable terminations with strong mechanical and electrical performance, while soldering offers a low-resistance, permanent bond in tight or awkward layouts. Both options use copper contacts within a rubber housing designed for rugged field conditions.
The E1049X-75 is Zone 2 rated for hazardous locations, with IP54 ingress protection and a NEMA 3R enclosure. These protections help guard against dust and water ingress while maintaining safe operation in confined or outdoor industrial settings.
The rugged rubber body and copper contacts reduce wear and corrosion, lowering maintenance frequency. High-current capacity and field-friendly termination options shorten downtime during installation or retrofits. Standardizing on the E1049X-75 can streamline procurement, reduce spares variety, and improve overall system reliability in hazardous-area projects.
