Caps not only offer protection against ingress of moisture and dirt into the inter- face of the PowerLock connector, they also offer a degree of protection against mechanical damage that can be caused when connectors on cables are being han- dled and transported.
POWERLOCK Connector System POWERLOCK-BOX: A connection unit in 19” format with 5 inputs for the power supply of a three-phase network. It guarantees sequential plugging and unplug- ging of connectors in correct order (PE, N, L1, L2, L3). An interlock protects the sequential connection against unauthorized disconnection.

POWERLOCK Connector System CONNECTOR POWERLOCK “NPDFT SKPP” The connector POWERLOCK NPDFT SKPP is a combination of the NLDFT connector and the NPDFT connector. In terms of contacting, it is similar to the NLDFT connector: The current conductor is connected via a crimped connection or alternatively with the Set-Screw contact.

(also areas sup- plied by external sources) are de-energized and secured against accidental switch-on! Modifications (of any kind) of the POWERLOCK type connect- ors are strictly forbidden! Operating Instructions POWERLOCK Rev. - Page 35 von 48 EXPORT CODE C COMMERCIAL.
POWERLOCK Connector System COUPLING OF THE CONNECTORS The “POWERLOCK” system connectors have a bayonet locking mechanism with a safety pin for secondary locking. Figure 28: Connector coupling Align the slot (pos. 1) and the groove (pos. 2) on the two connectors.
The spring-loaded locking pin (pos. 3) must fully engage in the groove of the mating connector in order to lock the bayonet lock. Result: The plug connection is coupled and locked. Operating Instructions POWERLOCK Rev. - Page 37 von 48 EXPORT CODE C COMMERCIAL.
Use the unlocking key to push back the locking pin (pos. 2) and unlock the connector counterclockwise. Result: The plug connection is unlocked and disconnected.

(SC). This allows a connector pair to be separated without the use of a separate release key. Figure 31: Optional sliding sleeve „SC“ Operating Instructions POWERLOCK Rev. - Page 39 von 48 EXPORT CODE C COMMERCIAL. RESTRICTED TO EMBARGOED COUNTRIES AND DENIED PARTIES.
Instructed personnel with specific training in mechatronics or electrical engineering may only carry out the activities! For the “POWERLOCK” connector system to function properly, it is essential that the cable is connected correctly by means of crimping. Only the recommended crimping pliers and die should be used for cable connection.

Only insulating bodies, contact bodies and add-on parts from the original manufacturer ITT may be used; under no circum- stances, competitor parts may be used or mixed! The specified maximum current load of 660A or 400A presup- poses that the cross-section of the connected power conduc- tor has also been designed at least for this.
