2 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. 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. This makes it possible tofeed a normally de-energized receptaclefrom an energized plug with usual Arktitesafety; no energized contacts areexposed.
