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. This makes it possible to

feed a normally de-energized receptacle

from an energized plug with usual Arktite

safety; no energized contacts are

exposed.

* APJ and NPJ plugs only
