DR400 Series High Amperage Plugs & Receptacles from Meltric
First and foremost it utilizes Meltric’s spring-loaded, silver-nickel, butt-style contact technology which enable easy connection and disconnection while maintaining optimum contact pressure and resisting corrosion, cold welding, and other problems that occur with competitors pin and sleeve contacts. Other exclusive DR400 features include: • An easy closing mechanism that allows the user to connect the plug to the receptacle with minimal force. Rated watertightness is achieved as soon as the plug is connected to the receptacle. • Once the plug is engaged a screw-type locking pawl ensures safety by preventing accidental disconnection. An optional lock can also be used. • To disengage the plug deenergize the circuit, unscrew the locking pawl and press to eject the plug to the rest position. • Once the plug is removed a lockout hole makes lockout/tagout. • And a protective safety shutter on the receptacle protects workers from potential exposure to live parts and arc flash • Each DR400 also includes two Auxiliary contacts that can be used to enable additional monitoring, control, or communication. These features make the DR400 your best choice for high amperage applications such as, • power distribution • shore power, • generators connections, -
Extra Duty Weatherproof Cover from Pass and Seymour
I'm pleased to announce the addition of Extra-Duty rated While-in-Use Covers (WIUC10FRED, WIUC20FRED) to the Pass & Seymour® weatherproof product offering. The 2014 NEC®, Section 406.9 (B) (1) now requires these covers to be listed and identified as "Extra Duty." The "Extra-Duty" covers are evaluated to more demanding test requirements than a standard cover. Previously, the requirement for "Extra-Duty" covers only applied to enclosures supported by grade, not one- and two-family dwellings. There was concern that covers were being damaged in residential and commercial installations. Key product features are: • Corner hinge and cord opening allows for vertical or horizontal installation. • Trigger latch opens easily with one finger, yet is lockable to prevent tampering. • Snap-in device plates require no tools to install and won't fall out, cutting installation time. -
