Arktite heavy duty circuit breaking plugs and receptacles Industrial heavy duty Non-hazardous areas

NEMA 4 Watertight

Applications:

Arktite® circuit breaking plugs and receptacles are used:

• To supply power to portable electrically operated devices such as motor generator sets, compressors, heating and cooling units, welders, conveyors, lighting systems and similar equipment

• Where temporary power is needed, such as at trailers, building units, heavy machinery and similar equipment

• Wherever electrical loads must be quickly disconnected from power source

• In a typical installation, where a large machine utilizes a number of electrical motor drives and for ease of adjustment, removal, maintenance and replacement, each motor is connected by portable cord and Arktite receptacles rather than permanently wired

• In areas where dust, dirt, moisture and corrosion are a problem

• Indoors and outdoors in non-hazardous areas of chemical plants, process industry facilities, meat packing plants, manufacturing plants and similar industrial locations

Features:

• Circuit breaking – plugs through 100 ampere rating may be disconnected under load; 150-400 ampere units are for service disconnect use only

• Receptacles accept only plugs of the same amperage rating, style and number of poles, making it impossible to mismate, and provides for positive polarization

• Extra wide electrical spacing allows for maximum safety

• Insulator materials are the result of intensive testing; selection has been made based on highest dielectric strength, maximum mechanical and impact resistance, lowest moisture absorption and highest arc tracking resistance

• A variety of installations is possible due to the availability of several types of back boxes

• Designed to withstand rough usage and the effects of adverse environments

• Reversible interiors – 30, 60 and 100 ampere (except 30 and 60 ampere, 5-pole); Arktite plug and receptacle interiors are interchangeable using a screwdriver, making it possible to feed a normally de-energized receptacle from an energized plug with usual Arktite safety;

no energized contacts are exposed

Certifications and compliances:

• UL standards: 1203A, 1682, 1686

• CSA standard: C22.2 No. 182.1

• CE (LVD) 2006/95/EECB

Grounding – Style 1 vs. Style 2:

Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds series Arktite devices utilize two methods, or styles, for completing the grounding circuit in plugs and receptacles. NEC reference 250.138 (A) and (B).

Style 1 – metallic A Style 1 plug is one in which the grounding conductor in the flexible cable is bonded to the plug sleeve by a pressure connector. A Style 1 receptacle is one which is grounded by virtue of the fact that it is an integral part of a grounded conduit system. On insertion, the plug sleeve makes contact with detent springs of the grounded receptacle housing before line and load poles engage, and on withdrawal, remains in contact until after line and load poles disengage. Therefore, exposed metal parts of the portable equipment or plug are suitably grounded.

Style 1 ground conductor attaches to shell

Style 2 – metallic A Style 2 metallic housing plug is one in which the grounding conductor in the flexible cable is bonded to the extra (grounding) pole and metal plug sleeve by a pressure connector. A Style 2 metallic housing receptacle is one in which the extra (grounding) pole is electrically connected to the equipment grounding conductor and the metal receptacle housing which itself is grounded by virtue of the fact that it is an integral part of a grounded conduit system. In Style 2 non-metallic housing plugs and receptacles, the extra pole is used for grounding since the housings are non-conductive.

Metal shelled type

Style 2 ground conductor attaches to contact, which is bonded to shell

Style 2 – non-metallic In a Style 2 receptacle, the grounding connection is made before line and load poles engage, and is broken after the line load poles disengage. Furthermore, upon insertion, the plug sleeve of metal shelled units makes contact with detent springs of the grounded receptacle housing before line and load poles engage, and on withdrawal, remains in contact until after line and load poles disengage. Therefore, exposed metal parts of the portable equipment or plug are suitably grounded.

E150A, 200A and 400A rated units are for service disconnect use only.

FHorsepower ratings are based on Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds Division testing in which locked rotor currents were interrupted by withdrawing the plug from the receptacle. It is highly recommended, however, that such use be limited to emergency conditions only, and that a horsepower rated switch be used for motor disconnect.

GThis guide is for reference only. Consult your local electrical codes before installation.

HEaton’s Crouse-Hinds Division does not recommend our plug and receptacle be used for disconnect under load.

IDo not use wire size smaller than minimum size recommended.

JSmaller sizes may be used with well reducers – information available upon request.

Horsepower ratings:

Locked rotor interrupting

Maximum horsepower for plug and receptacle combinations by input voltageG:

The following values are typical horsepower ratings based on NEC Article 430 tables. HP ratings are based on the largest conductor size for each plug and receptacle combination per the wire size table below.

Wire sizes:

The table below lists the diameter of the wire recess in Arktite plug and receptacle contacts so that maximum size of bare conductor can be figured. Range of wire sizes shown in table is intended only as a guide. Depending on type of wire used (building wire, flexible or extra flexible cable) and its construction (number and size of strands), bare copper diameters vary widely.
