Dead Front Receptacle - NFPA 70E Compliance



Meltric Decontactors have a dead front design to protect users from accidental exposure to live parts and arcing. The dead front is accomplished with a safety shutter on the receptacle along with enclosed arc chambers and a skirted plug casing. Since there is no access to live parts, Meltric products simplify compliance to the NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace.

		Safety shutter eliminates the possibility of access to live parts. • Live parts can be accessed only by the mating plug after insertion into the receptacle • Different contact configurations and locations are used to prevent mating of plugs and receptacles with different (non-compatible) voltages, polarity or amperage
DECONTACTOR safety shutters block access to live receptacle contacts

Competitive products allow easy access to live parts which significantly increases the probability of injury due to accidental contact or arcing.
