Appleton™ ATX™ Plugs & Receptacles

PRE Series 32 Amp Plugs and Sockets use a pin and sleeve design to deliver safe power to stationary and portable equipment such as lighting systems, conveyors, heating and air conditioning equipment, compressors, pumps or motor generators. Suitable for use in damp, wet or corrosive environments, PRE plugs and sockets are keyed and color coded per IEC directives. The sockets are available in wall-mount, flush-mount and mobile versions.

Features

• 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 colour coded for easy identification

• The receptacles are keyed to accept only ATX plugs (other plugs cannot be inserted)

• ATX plugs can be used in non-hazardous IEC 309 sockets

• Operating temperature of -40 °C to +55 °C (-40 °F to +131 °F)

UPR Series 32 Amp Plugs and Sockets are compact, lightweight, strong and corrosion resistant. They are used with portable or stationery electrical equipment in corrosive atmospheres and in Zone 1 and 2 and 21 and 22 installations. The UPR is designed with a mechanical interlock to insure disengagement cannot occur while energized. The same plug used in hazardous locations can also be safely used with interlocking non-hazardous location receptacles.

Features

• Plug and socket system is designed with a mechanical interlock to insure disengagement cannot occur while energized

• Large ON/OFF actuator on the receptacle gives clear, visible indication of the receptacle status for maximum hazardous location protection

• LV receptacle can be locked in 0 (Off) and 1 (On) positions

• Different voltages are colour coded for easy identification

• The receptacles are keyed to accept UPR plugs of the proper voltage

• Receptacle explosionproof switch

• UPR plugs can be used in non-hazardous IEC 60309-2 sockets

• Operating temperature of -20 °C to +55 °C (-4 °F to +131 °F)
