Benefits & Applications
-
Robust & Durable Design
The steel, zinc-plated housing resists corrosion and mechanical damage; the thermoset interior offers excellent heat and electrical insulation. -
Secure Locking Connection
The Twist-Lock® design ensures mating plugs stay firmly in place even under vibration or movement, improving reliability in industrial settings. -
High Current & Voltage Capability
Rated at 50 A and 600 VAC (or 250 VDC), this inlet can support heavy equipment, three-phase loads, or demanding power requirements. -
Wide Compatibility with Field Wiring
Accepts a practical range of copper wire gauges (#6 to #10), making it adaptable to many panel wiring layouts. -
Certified & Safe
UL and CSA approvals, plus high dielectric strength, mean this part fits well within safety requirements for industrial power equipment.
Installation & Best Practices
-
Proper Panel Cutout & Seal
Prepare a matching flange cutout in the panel. Use gaskets or sealants if in industrial or harsh environments to prevent ingress of dust, oil, or water. -
Torque Terminals Carefully
Use proper torque values (as recommended in spec sheet/datasheet) to ensure secure connections without damaging terminals. -
Match Plug & Inlet
Use compatible Twist-Lock® plugs rated for 50 A to ensure safe compatibility and avoid overloading connectors. -
Ensure Proper Wire Prep
Strip conductors properly, avoid nicking the wire, and make sure the conductor fully engages into the terminal before tightening. -
Inspect Post-Installation
After setup, test under expected loads. Verify temperature rise, check for signs of overheating or misalignment. -
Environmental Protection
While rated for indoor / dry unless protected by additional means, consider using enclosures or covers in exposed settings.
