Meltric's
DECONTACTOR™ Series switch rated plugs & receptacles are
a combination plug, receptacle and UL/CSA approved disconnect switch
in the same device. Decontactors are commonly used to connect power
to conveyor systems, thus enabling them to be reconfigured quickly
and safely. Decontactors are ideal for connecting conveyor motors,
they enable plug and play motor change-outs and thus help minimize
system downtime. With Decontactors installed NFPA 70E and CSA compliance
is greatly simplified because the Decontactor's safety features ensure
an electrically safe work condition.
| The DECONTACTOR™ Advantages | ||
 |
Switch ratings ensure safe load breaking/making – even in overload situations. |  |
| Decontactors
are switch rated up to 200A & 60 hp. They provide short circuit make & withstand protection up to 100kA. |
||
|
Dead front construction prevents exposure to live parts and arc flash hazards. |  |
The need for
flash protection boundaries and cumbersome PPE is eliminated. Decontactors
maintain a NFPA 70E 'hazard risk category' equal |
||
|
Separation of the plug & receptacle provides verification of deenergization. |
 |
| Voltage testing is not required. Visible contact separation proves the power is off. | ||
|
||
|
Plug & play simplicity allows any qualified employee to quickly connect and disconnect electrical equipment. | |
Specially trained electrical workers are not required for load making/breaking. Downtime related to equipment change-outs can be reduced by up to 50%. |
||
| |
Lockout provisions facilitate easy compliance with lockout/tagout requirements. |  |
| Only
your lock and tag are needed, no additional mechanisms are required.
(Provisions are standard on the plug and optional on the receptacle.) |
