Features & Benefits

• Plug and socket system is designed with a safe disconnect mechanism to insure maximum hazardous location protection:
— The contact separation is in a flameproof chamber
— The automatic electrical disconnection of each phase is contained in a second flameproof chamber
• Short circuit protection is 20 kA, while normal reference is 10 kA.
• Different voltages are color coded for easy identification.
• The receptacles are keyed to accept only ATX plugs (other plugs
can not be inserted).
• ATX plugs can be used in non-hazardous IEC 309 sockets
