NEMA 4 Watertight

Applications:Arktite circuit breaking plugs andreceptacles are used: To supply power to portable electrically

operated devices such as motor-generator sets, compressors, heatingand cooling units, welders, conveyors,lighting systems and similar equipment

Where temporary power is needed, suchas at trailers, building units, heavymachinery and similar equipment

Wherever electrical loads must bequickly disconnected from power source

In a typical installation, where a largemachine utilizes a number of electricalmotor drives and for ease of adjustment,removal, maintenance and replacement,each motor is connected by portablecord and Arktite receptacles 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 locations

Features: Circuit breaking: plugs through 100

ampere 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) Arktite plug 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.

The 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 easy.The 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 areas.Wrenching surfaces make Arktite plugsquick and easy to assembleSmooth and contoured design of plughousing eliminates occurrence of cable gripsnagging or breaking off. Tri-Lock screwsare captive so cable grip cannot come apartduring assembly. Prevents critical screwsfrom getting lost during installation.Plastic sleeve between insulator body andhousing minimizes possibility of electricalshock in event of ground failure.

Grounding: Style 1 vs. Style 2Eaton's Crouse-Hinds Arktite devices utilize two methods, or styles, for completing the grounding circuit in plugs and receptacles. NECreference 250.138 (A) & (B).

Style 1 MetallicA Style 1 plug is one in which thegrounding conductor in the flexible cable isbonded to the plug sleeve by a pressureconnector. A Style 1 receptacle is onewhich is grounded by virtue of the fact thatit is an integral part of a grounded conduitsystem. On insertion, the plug sleevemakes contact with detent springs of thegrounded receptacle housing before lineand load poles engage, and on withdrawal,remains in contact until after line and loadpoles disengage. Therefore, exposed metalparts of the portable equipment or plug aresuitably grounded.

Style 1Ground conductorattaches to shell.

Style 2 MetallicA Style 2 metallic housing plug is one inwhich the grounding conductor in theflexible cable is bonded to the extra(grounding) pole and metal plug sleeve bya pressure connector. A Style 2 metallichousing receptacle is one in which theextra (grounding) pole is electricallyconnected to the equipment groundingconductor and the metal receptaclehousing which itself is grounded by virtueof the fact that it is an integral part of agrounded conduit system. In Style 2, non-metallic housing plugs and receptacles, theextra pole is used for grounding since thehousings are non-conductive.

Metalshelledtype

Style 2Ground conductor

attaches to contact,which is bonded to

shell.

Style 2 Non-metallicIn a Style 2 receptacle, the groundingconnection is made before line and loadpoles engage, and is broken after the lineload poles disengage. Furthermore, uponinsertion, the plug sleeve of metal shelledunits makes contact with detent springs ofthe grounded receptacle housing beforeline and load poles engage, and onwithdrawal, remains in contact until afterline and load poles disengage. Therefore,exposed metal parts of the portableequipment or plug are suitably grounded.

150A, 200A and 400A rated units are for service disconnect use only. Horsepower ratings are based on Eaton's Crouse-Hinds testing in which locked-rotor currents were interrupted by withdrawing the plug from the receptacle. It is highlyrecommended, however, that such use be limited to emergency conditions only, and that a horsepower rated switch be used for motor disconnect.* This guide is for reference only. Consult your local electrical codes before installation. Eaton's Crouse-Hinds does not recommend our plug and receptacle be used for disconnect under load.**Smaller sizes may be used with well reducers information available upon request.Do not use wire size smaller than minimum size recommended.
