30A 400A (30 200A Load Breaking), Maximum 600VAC/250VDC Receptacles, Inlets, Plugs, Connectors, Interlocked Receptacles, Explosion-Proof Interlocked Receptacles Benefits Russellstoll builds a variety of benefits into one plug, receptacle and interlock system for your application. The MaxGard system: Maximum Safety, Durability and Performance in electrical interconnections. Safety Waterproof construction: Standard Neoprene O-ringed interior components provide environ mental separation at the front of each device; they don t have to be connected together just to be called watertight Different power supply ratings can t mix: 24 single-rate device polarizations ensure exact voltage, frequency and phase differentiation plus a few specials, too. In every current range Plugs stay in: Standard delayed action pull and turn withdrawal offers all plugs an XP rating (30 100 amps). All system components use mating screw collars Foreign objects stay out: All receptacles and connectors have a gated rotating disk on the face of the interior, engaged on insertion Durability At last durability: Rugged cast aluminum housings with two layers of electrostatic epoxy coating are standard, along with stainless steel hardware. Available with flap or screw covers. Interiors are molded from a tough reinforced UL94-V0 thermoset polyester The best connections for life: Pins and sleeves are made from CDA 360 and Marine-grade CDA 485 brass; 200 and 400 amp lines are silver-plated as well. The most power available in the most pack ages : 30, 60, 100, 200- and 400-amp lines in one system with cast aluminum NEMA 4X interlocks; steel 30, 60 and 100 amp NEMA 12 interlocks or cast aluminum XP interlocks in 30, 60 and 100 amp ranges Performance Any configuration you need: Through 4-pole 5-wire configurations, all have a safety center earth ground pin design that makes first and breaks last. This applies to all of our plugs, connectors, receptacles, male inlets and interlock systems More control available: Two optional pilot/control pins for contactors, load monitor circuits, shunt trip or any other communication functions you need Ease of assembly: Solderless pressure-type screw terminals with hex socket heads and rear-access, take-apart housings provide quick wiring access. No interior removal required for wiring receptacles and connectors More power: 150% non-ul ratings allow extending MaxGard installations to 600 amp custom loads, with separate disconnect service 7
