Eaton Crouse-Hinds X8999-44 Ship/Shore Receptacle Assembly - 500V
Part Number: X8999-44
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds ship/shore receptacle assembly enables reliable shore power connections for heavy industrial equipment. In rugged sites, mismatched connectors drive downtime and wiring errors; this unit mitigates that risk with a purpose-built, field-ready design. It supports three-phase power up to 500A continuous at 500V and uses a stainless steel shell with neoprene tube for weather- and abrasion-resistance in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. The surface-mount configuration simplifies installation in constrained spaces, while terminal screws and a spring-door receptacle offer maintenance-friendly operation. With compatibility for up to 500 MCM cables, it delivers scalable power feeds for expanding facilities and fleet upgrades.
