These units from Larson Electronics are constructed of 25 feet of 14/3 SOOW explosion proof cord and are rated at 15 amps of continuous service. The cord is chemical and abrasion resistant and comes with a Class 1 Division 1 explosion proof receptacle and switch installed on one end and a Class 1 Division 1 explosion proof plug installed on the other end. We also include an extra matching plug for operators to attach to their equipment which allows them to avoid any issues with plug and receptacle equipment compatibility with this cord.
The plugs on these units are of a twist lock design. In order for a secure and working connection to take place, the operator must insert the plug and twist until it locks into place. This ensures a safe seal is made before any sparks from electrical contact can take place. Explosion proof lights, blowers and fans typically do not contain their own on and off switches and are plugged in some distance from the hazardous work area, forcing operators to walk some distance out of the work area to turn this equipment on or off. This unit includes an inline switch which allows operators to leave the cords plugged in and switch equipment on or off within the hazardous work area. This switch also allows operators to safely connect and disconnect equipment downline of the switch simply by turning off the switch before changing connections. To remove all risk and retain the highest level of protection, operators should make all connections outside of the hazardous work area.
Inter-compatibility: These cords will work with non-explosion proof standard receptacles (NEMA 5-15R, 5-20R, or 6-20R). The included plugs and receptacle are cross-interchangeable with Crouse Hind™ part# ENPENP5151 plugs and receptacles and Hubble-Killiark part# UGP-15231 ACCEPTOR® plugs and receptacles. Any equipment requiring these C-H or H-B plugs should work with these cords. Due to possible manufacturer changes we cannot guarantee interchangability although we have made every effort to ensure cross compatibility correctness.
Suggested applications: Manufacturing, industrial, warehouse, lighting, explosion proof light fixtures, wet areas or locations where combustible dust is present.
