NEC/CEC:
Listed for Ordinary (Unclassied) 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, SCR/VFD houses, and 
similar equipment.
•   Ideal for use in "ship to shore" and backup/temporary power  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  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  conned 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 Plugs may be withdrawn  in an emergency under full rated loads without separate  disconnect switches (400 Amp plug is for disconnecting use  only; not for current rupturing).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  classied 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

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.
