Listed for Ordinary (Unclassied) Locations
NEMA 3, 3R, 4, 4X
Applications
• Designed to supply power to portable or xed electrical
equipment such as motor generator units, welders, pumps,
compressors, cellular relay stations, and similar apparatus.
• Ideal for use on shipping docks, ports, and other
”ship to shore” applications.
• Suitable for use in locations where a weatherproof enclosure
is required.
• Rough usage construction.
Features
• Available in 30, 60, 100, 150, 200, and 400 Amp units.
• Available in two grounding styles: Style 1 (shell only) and
Style 2 (shell and extra pole).
• Neoprene bushing compressed by cable collar prevents
entrance of water. Bushing is highly resistant to hydrocarbon
deterioration and is self-extinguishing.
• Locking screw and slot prevents plug cable collar from
”backing off.”
• Contacts exert constant pressure along entire contact surface
and provide electrical continuity.
• Ambient temperature range of -25°C to +40°C
(-13°F to +104°F).
• Insulating blocks provide greatest dielectric and mechanical
Plugs and RecePtacles: nec/cec ORdinaRy lOcatiOn
strength and lowest arc tracking.
• Positive polarization: only plugs and receptacles of same style,
number of poles and ampere rating can be used together.
• Circuit breaking: in 30, 60, 100, 150 and 200 Amp units, any
arcing created as line and load terminals disengage is safely
conned deep within terminal cavities. Plugs may be withdrawn
in an emergency under full rated loads without separate
disconnect switches (400 Amp plug is for disconnecting use
only; not for current rupturing).
• 30, 60, 100, and 150 Amp Powertite™ plugs also suitable for
classied locations when used with Appleton EBR, EBRH, JBR,
MD2SR, or DBR explosionproof interlocking receptacles.
• Controlled length contacts ensure that ground makes rst and
breaks last for added safety.
• Intermatability : Intermateable with Crouse-Hinds Arktite
and Powermate™, and Killark Versamate®.
Standard Materials
• Plug, receptacle, connector and mounting box housings:
copperfree (4/10 of 1% max.) aluminum
• Insulating blocks: glass lled polyester
Standard Finishes
• Aluminum plug, receptacle, connector and mounting box
housings: epoxy powder coat
• Insulating blocks and contacts: natural nish

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.
Spring Door Cover
30, 60, 100, and 150 Amp units may be located at any position in a
360° circle by adjusting a setscrew. Set screw also allows complete
removal of cover. Spring door available on 200 Amp units.
NOTE: Spring Door cover in open positions for illustration only.
ACP Plugs
Supplied with bushings to accommodate a wide variety of cable
diameters. 30 Amp plug clamp used in first position with smallest
inside diameter bushing provides positive grip on cables as small as
0.390 inches, such as those that are used in oil rig installations.
Reversible Cable Clamps
Permits wide cable range (just loosen screws and flip over).
Each position accommodates one of two bushings. Convenient in
installations having different cable sizes.
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.
Special Polarization
Special polarization is available on 30, 60, 100, 200, and 400 Amp
units. 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.

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.
