DECONTACTOR™ Series switch rated plugs and receptacles are ideal for connecting
power to hoist systems. They ensure safety and enable plug and play hoist change-outs.
An electrically safe work condition is ensured even when disconnecting under load plus NFPA 70E compliance is greatly simplified.

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.
 
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%.

     
Separation of the plug & receptacle provides verification of deenergization.
  Voltage testing is not required. Visible contact separation proves the power is off.

 

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
to zero.

   
  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.)

 

NEC, UL & CSA Compliance  
  In addition to their plug & receptacle listings, Meltric Decontactor Series plugs & receptacles are UL and CSA switch rated and are approved NEC 'line of sight' disconnect switches for both resistive and inductive loads.
 
  UL/CSA listed for 'Branch Circuit Disconnect Switching' and 'Motor Circuit Disconnect Switching' per UL Subject 2682 'Switch Rated Plugs & Receptacles.'
