2 Each motor is connected by portablecord and Arktitereceptacles rather thanpermanently wired In areas where dust, dirt, moisture andcorrosion are a problem Indoors and outdoors in non-hazardousareas of chemical plants, processindustry facilities, meat packing plants,manufacturing plants and similarindustrial locationsFeatures: Circuit Breaking : Plugs through 100ampere rating may be disconnectedunder load; 150-400 ampere units arefor service disconnect use only. Receptacles accept only Plugs of thesame amperage rating, style andnumber of poles, making it impossible to mismate, and provides for positivepolarization.

3 Extra wide electrical spacing allows formaximum safety. Insulator materials are the result ofintensive testing. Selection has beenmade based on highest dielectricstrength, maximum mechanical andimpact resistance, lowest moistureabsorption and highest arc trackingresistance. A variety of installations is possible dueto the availability of several types ofback boxes. Designed to withstand rough usage andthe effects of adverse environments. Reversible interiors, 30, 60 and 100ampere (except 30 and 60 ampere, 5-pole) Arktiteplug and receptacleinteriors are interchangeable using ascrewdriver.

6 All aluminum Uni-Shell constructionprovides superior strength in abusiveenvironmentsThe Tri-Lock cable grip has 3-piece designthat equally distributes gripping power aroundperimeter of cable. Cord jacket does not getpinched, eliminating potential for damage toboth internal conductors and external cablejacket. Cable grip is located inside plughousing, eliminating corrosion of vitalhardware and making plug maintenance unique Sure-Seal cable gland has twogasket sizes which fit entire range of cablediameters, reducing risk of improperassembly. The gasket ratchets into the Tri-lock cable grip to prevent plug fromturning or loosening in high vibration surfaces make Arktite plugsquick and easy to assembleSmooth and contoured design of plughousing eliminates occurrence of cable gripsnagging or Breaking off.

7 Tri-Lock screwsare captive so cable grip cannot come apartduring assembly. Prevents critical screwsfrom getting lost during sleeve between insulator body andhousing minimizes possibility of electricalshock in event of ground failure.
