Eaton Specification Sheet - SP6483D
60A amperage rating with 480 Vac and a broad 60-400 Hz frequency range ensures compatibility with a wide range of motors and control gear. Business impact: supports high-load equipment without multiple adapters, reducing panel complexity and wiring errors. Application: pumps, conveyors, and fans in hazardous facilities. Three-wire, four-pole configuration with Style 2 grounding reduces miswiring and improves fault isolation, enabling safer startup sequences in rugged plant environments. Application: drives and motor control in chemical, oil & gas, and mining operations. Copper-free aluminum housing with brass contacts delivers corrosion resistance and weight savings, lowering total cost of ownership and easing field handling during maintenance. Application: portable or fixed installations in offshore and onshore sites. Cable grip and neoprene bushing provide strain relief and ingress protection, extending connector life in vibrating or long cable-run scenarios. Application: heavy-wind setups, conveyors, and processing lines. Compatibility with SRD threaded cap receptacles offers modularity and easy retrofits without replacing entire interlock assemblies. Application: explosion-proof interlock systems in compliance-driven facilities. Certifications under NEC/CEC and NEMA ratings 7, 3, 9, 12 support procurement and regulatory compliance, reducing risk in audits and inspections. This design also supports UL-linked certification references for industry-wide acceptance. ROI benefits include reduced maintenance cycles and longer service life in hazardous-location facilities.
