Powertite Technical Data: Reverse Service, Polarization, Pin, and Sleeve Design
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.

Interior
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 rib, and plug is polarized to correspond. Add
sufx –P4 to the plug, receptacle, or connector.

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. Units can be
easily converted to reverse service
in the eld when matching plug and
receptacle are ordered. Add sufx –RS
to the plug, receptacle, or connector.

Warnings
WARNING
WARNING
Use cable with diameters within the specied range given in
TABLE 1 for any given grommet size and clamp orientation.
Failure to do so may result in over stressed wire terminations
which could cause the conductors to pull out of the contacts
and cause serious/fatal injuries due to electrocution or re.
If any parts of the plug, receptacle or cable connector
appear to be missing, broken or show signs of damage;
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY!
This condition could cause serious/fatal personal injury
due to electrocution and/or equipment damage. Repair with
proper replacement part(s) before continuing service.
WARNING
Do not modify these devices in any way.
Replace any missing or broken parts with proper replace-
ments parts from Appleton Grp LLC. Modication of these
devices or substitution of parts with non-standard parts may
result in serious/fatal personal injury from electrocution.
Electrical power must be turned “OFF” before and during
installation and maintenance. Failure to do so may result
in serious/fatal injuries due to electrocution.
WARNING
Maintenance
Electrical and mechanical inspection of all components must be performed regularly. It is recommended that
inspection be performed a minimum of once a year.
WARNING
If any parts of the plug, receptacle or cable connector appear to be missing, broken or show signs of damage;
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY!
This condition could cause serious/fatal personal injurydue to electrocution and/or equipment damage.
Repair with proper replacement part(s) before continuing service.
1. Inspect all contact wire terminals for tightness.
(Retorque). Discoloration due to excessive heat is
an indicator of possible problems and should be
thoroughly investigated and repaired as necessary.
2. Check grounding and bonding for correct installation and secure connection. (Re-torque)
3. Check gaskets for deterioration and replace if necessary.
5. Inspect gland nut and cable grip tightness to ensure
proper cord/cable gripping.
6. Torque all screws as described in instructions
before re-using device.
7. Inspect housing parts and replace those which are
broken or excessively worn.
8. Check contacts for signs of excessive arcing or
burning and replace if necessary.
4. Clean exterior surfaces making sure nameplates
remain legible.
In addition to these required maintenance procedures,
we recommend an Electrical Preventive Maintenance
program as described in the National Fire Protection
Association Bulletin NFPA No. 70B.

Powertite 200 Amp Pin & Sleeve Plugs: NEMA 4X
600 Volt AC, 250 Volt DC. Wire Recess Diameter: 0.687". Wire Size Range: 250MCM - 4/0 and 3/0 - #4
WARNING:
A wire schematic must be followed so the same
color wire is always put into the same numbered
contact openings in all plugs, connectors and
receptacles in the system. This will insure the
correct polarity for the system and eliminates
possibilities for equipment damage and/or
personal injuries.
1. Disassemble as shown by removing the
retaining screws (1), loosening the set screw
(2), unscrewing the clamp cap (3), and
Figure A
"
"
removing the terminal block assembly (4).
2. Strip the proper cable as shown in Figure A.
3. Prepare the cable clamp (5) and select the
proper grommet (7) using the Cable Grommet
"
Selection Guide. The reversible cable clamp
permits a wide range of cable diameters
"
(see Table 1).
4. Slide the clamp cap (3) with cable clamp (5),
steel ring (6), proper grommet (7), and
housing (8) over the cable.
5. Insert wires into the proper terminals and
tighten terminal screws to a torque value
per Table 2.
6. For Style 1 Plugs, splice the provided
grounding wire (9) to the cable’s ground wire.
7. Slide the terminal block assembly (4) into the
housing (8), aligning the retaining screw holes
with the ground bar hole and the
terminal block assembly holes. To ensure
proper polarization, an alignment key* (10)
on the housing mates with a recess on the
terminal block assembly (4).
8. Install the three retaining screws (1) and
tighten securely to 18–20 in.-lb.
9. Place the grommet (7) and steel ring (6) in
the back of the housing and tighten the clamp
cap (3) until the grommet (7) is tightened
around the cable.
10. Tighten the set screw (2) to 10–12 in.-lb.
11. Tighten the cable clamp screws (10)
to 45–55 in-lb.

* P4 Special Polarization Plugs do not utilize
an alignment key.
