FAQs
The E1049X-89 supports up to 636A continuous and accommodates 313 kcmil conductors, making it suitable for high-current feeders in Zone 2. It uses copper contacts and a rubber housing to maintain performance under vibration and chemical exposure, ensuring voltage integrity up to 1000 Vac/dc. This combination helps reduce thermal stress and prevents premature connector failure in demanding environments.
Yes. The E1049X-89 is designed for both hexagon crimp and solder connections, offering flexible field installation. Copper contacts ensure low resistance, while the rugged rubber body provides protection in hazardous settings. This dual compatibility simplifies lifecycle maintenance and supports standardized installation practices across diverse projects.
The plug carries Zone 2 compliance under IECEx/ATEX, NEC/CEC hazardous area ratings, and IP54 ingress protection, along with a NEMA 3R enclosure rating. These certifications support safe operation in hazardous and classified locations and align with global standards for electrical equipment used in industrial facilities.
When installing the E1049X-89 in hazardous locations, ensure proper crimping or soldering of the copper contacts, select the correct 313 kcmil cable, and verify 1000 Vac/dc ratings are suitable for the circuit. Use the Zone 2 rated hardware in well-ventilated areas to minimize risk, and follow standard lockout/tagout procedures during maintenance to sustain safety and compliance.
The Roughneck E1049X-89 delivers higher amperage capability, robust IP54/NEMA 3R protection, and Zone 2 certification, which together reduce unplanned downtime and maintenance interventions in hazardous areas. Copper contacts and reliable connection methods lower resistance and heat buildup, extending service life, lowering replacement costs, and improving overall equipment availability and safety.
