Feature → Business Impact → Application: High-current capability up to 636A continuous with a 313 kcmil cable is engineered to support large motors and feeders, reducing the number of connection points and improving overall system reliability in industrial plants. This translates to lower maintenance cycles and fewer hot-work events during commissioning, especially in chemical processing and oil/gas facilities where downtime is costly. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Zone 2 rating combined with IECEx/ATEX and NEC Class I Division 2 compliance provides a safer wiring solution for hazardous locations, helping engineers meet strict regulatory requirements while expediting approvals for project timelines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP54 ingress protection and NEMA 3R enclosure shield sensitive connections from dust, water splash, and outdoor exposure, enabling longer service life and reduced corrosion-related failures in outdoor substations and offshore installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Copper contact material with rubber housing ensures low contact resistance and reliable electrical performance under vibration and temperature cycling, supporting sustained efficiency in demanding environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Hexagon crimp or solder termination offers installation flexibility, allowing field technicians to verify or retrofit terminations quickly, minimizing downtime during expansion or preventive maintenance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 8.5 in length and 3 in diameter footprint provides a compact yet robust connector option for tight enclosures, improving cable management and reducing installation labor in complex plant layouts.

FAQs
This plug supports hexagon crimp or solder terminations and uses a rubber housing with copper contacts, designed for Zone 2 hazardous locations. Ensure proper cable preparation for 313 kcmil conductors, follow IECEx/ATEX and NEC Class I Division 2 guidelines, and verify IP54 sealing during assembly to maintain-field integrity and compliance.
Yes, the E1049X-83 is specified for 313 kcmil cables and provides up to 636A continuous current. It supports voltages up to 1000 Vac/dc, and the copper contact design maintains low resistance for reliable high-amperage operation in hazardous locations.
The plug is Zone 2 rated with IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC certifications, Class I, Division 2, and a NEMA 3R enclosure. It also carries IP54 protection, ensuring protection against dust ingress and water splashes in demanding sites such as chemical plants and offshore facilities.
Ideal for large-motor feeders, pumps, and power distribution in hazardous locations, including oil and gas, chemical processing, and mining operations. The combination of high current capacity, rugged housing, and flexible termination methods makes it suitable for both new installations and retrofits in challenging environments.
Durable rubber housing and copper contacts resist wear and corrosion, reducing maintenance frequency. Zone 2 and IP54 compliance minimize the risk of non-compliance penalties and unplanned downtime, while hex crimp or solder terminations save field labor time during installation and servicing, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership.
