Application
This range of Powertite Series Pin and Sleeve Plugs, Connectors and Receptacles is made to provide power, portable or fixed connection, to generator units, welders, pumps, compressors, cellular relay stations and SCR/VFD houses. They are useful for these items, precisely because they can with stand the strain and robust usage that occurs in such conditions. They are perfect for ship to shore and backup/temporary power applications. In addition this Connector range can also be used in locations where weatherproof enclosure is required.

Benefits and Features

• Together with the 30Amp, 600 VAC connectors this plug type is rated NEMA 4X when clamping is fully tightened
• Circuit breaking: any arcing created as line and load terminals disengage is safely confined deep within terminal cavities. Plugs may be withdrawn in an emergency under full rated loads without separate disconnect switch
• Positive polarization: only plugs and receptacles of same style, number of poles and ampere rating can be used together
• Ambient temperature range of -25 C to 40 C (-13 F to 104 F)
• Available in two grounding styles: Style 1 (shell only) and Style 2 (shell and extra pole)
• Locking screw and slot prevents plug cable collar from “backing off”
• Controlled length contacts ensure that ground makes first and breaks last for added safety
• Contacts exert constant pressure along entire contact surface and provide electrical continuity
• Insulating blocks provide greatest dielectric and mechanical strength and lowest arc tracking
• Neoprene bushing compressed by cable collar prevents entrance of water. Bushing is highly resistant to hydrocarbon deterioration and is self-extinguishing
• 30 Amp Powertite plugs also suitable for classified locations when used with Appleton EBR, EBRH, JBR, MD2SR, or DBR explosion proof interlocking receptacles
