Illustrated Features
Spring Door and Screw Cap
30, 60, 100, and 150 Amp spring door and screw cap receptacles
are threaded to accept clamping ring ACP plug. The ring threads
onto the receptacle to form a raintight assembly with plug in
use-and also to prevent plug fallout. When the plug is withdrawn,
the gasketed spring door cover closes tightly against receptacle
opening automatically, providing weatherproof protection. Spring
door has stainless steel spring and shaft.

Illustrated Options
Standard Service
Energized receptacle has
recessed male contacts to
reduce danger of accidental
touching. Plug has female
contacts that are energized only
upon insertion in receptacle.
Reverse Service (Generator
Application)
Useful where a “hot” plug feeds a
dead receptacle. Reverse service
is often used for generator
applications where the receptacle
houses a dead plug interior. Plug
houses an energized receptacle
interior, which has recessed
male contacts to reduce danger
of accidental touching. 30, 60,
100, 150, and 200 Amp units
can be easily converted to
reverse service in the field when
matching plug and receptacle
are ordered. 400 Amp unit is only
available as a factory assembled
item at extra cost. Add suffix -RS
to receptacle or connector.
Special Polarization
Prevents plug insertion in a receptacle or connector wired for
a different voltage. In installations where there are different line
voltages, the special polarization option is desirable. This allows
only plugs and receptacles wired for the same line voltage to be
mated together. The receptacle or connector interior is positioned
22-1/2°, relative to the polarization rivet, to the right (as specified) of
standard, and plug is polarized to correspond. Add suffix -P4 to the
standard or reverse service plug, receptacle or connector.
