Applications
• Designed to supply power to portable or fixed electrical equipment such as motor generator units, welders, pumps,
compressors, and similar apparatuses.
• Ideal for use on shipping docks, ports, and other "Ship-to-Shore" applications.
• Suitable for use in locations where a weatherproof enclosure is required.
• Interlocked receptacle design provides use in hazardous locations and rough environments.
Features
• Rugged and Type 4X watertight enclosure and cover, sealed with an O-ring.
• Grounding Style—Style 2 receptacle ground through shell and extra pole.
Receptacle is dead front without plug engaged.
• Arcing Confined—Interlock receptacle design means that all electrical switching
is done with an internal switch. The plug cannot be engaged or disengaged with
the receptacle when the switch is "ON".
• Positive Contact—Brass contacts have integral springs for positive, maintained,
electrical contact.
• Receptacle face enables the engagement of plugs for a weatherproof union.
• Positive Ground—Grounding terminal for Style 2 receptacle "makes first,
breaks last".
• Receptacle is designed so that it can only turn "ON" when the proper mating
plug is fully engaged and the pad locking collar is rotated. See Table 6 for a list
of the mating plugs.
• Receptacles come with a flip cover and a screw cover for protection against
environmental conditions.
• Cover cannot be removed when the switch is "ON".
• P4 Option—Special polarization prevents plug insertion into a receptacle wired
for a different voltage.
• Style 2 interlocked receptacles are equipped with contacts designed to provide a safety polarization means called "controlled
length" contacts. This feature will not allow the plug grounding contact (Style 2) to touch an energized receptacle "line" contact
in the event the plug becomes damaged and/or loses its primary polarization means and/or is rotated into the incorrect position.
