Features
- Uni-Shell™ handle body provides a smooth durable external surface that prevents the connector from getting snagged on equipment or other cables
- Spring-loaded sliding key offers increased safety: rejects standard NEMA/EEMAC
configuration plugs that could cause an arc in a hazardous area; prevents the faceplate from being rotated until the ENP plug is fully inserted - Increased environmental reliability with hinged locking cover: provides weather protection in
damp, wet and dirty locations; cover stays closed until connection with ENP plug is required - Plug gaskets: two gaskets cover the entire range of cable diameters, reducing risk of improper assembly; gasket ratchets into tri-lock cable grip to prevent connector from turning or loosening
- Improved safety with integral lockout/tagout eliminates risk of operator or contractor
plugging in process equipment when conditions are unsafe - Saddle clamp terminals provide increased safety with easy-to-terminate connection points for
reliable conductor terminations - Increased safety with captive Tri-Lock design: three points of contact prevent pinching of cables that could damage internal conductors or cable jacket; captive screws prevent critical
components from getting lost during installation - Snap-n internal insulator increases safety of personnel with intermediate insulator between
conductors and metallic outer shell - Mates with Cooper Crouse-Hinds frustration-free ENP Plug
